Participants of the programme will have access to the company's leading cloud, connectivity and collaboration tools, under the new initiative to encourage innovation in India. 

''In today's globally connected environment it was important to support our finalists with reliable and sophisticated cloud, global connectivity and collaboration tools which is why there was no question in our mind that Tata Communications should be part of the iAccelerator programme this year,'' said Pranay Gupta, joint CEO, CIIE.
