  Mr. Datta Subrahmanya

“ I felt Reliance is doing a phenomenal job kindling the creativity / innovativeness of the enterprises in India. Reliance's tangible output (in the applications area) over the last couple of years is better than some of the best organizations in the world at their peaks!.”

  Mr. Kapil Sood
   Head – Telecom Vertical (Sun MicroSystems India)
“ Reliance Developer Programme is unique where-in a Carrier has, for the first time in the country, taken an initiative to build indigenous content for the Indian consumers. This would go a long way in making 'Wireless Data Services' a success in India."

" Reliance Communications is the only company with a Developer Programme focused on encouraging and supporting companies like us to innovate and come up with new and exciting offerings. Over the last one year, we have developed a fruitful association with the Data Services Group of Reliance and have had tightly coupled teams working to deliver world-class applications for Reliance customers. Reliance is very open to experimenting and encouraging the Developer community to think out of the box and develop interesting applications. We are proud of this relationship with Reliance and look forward to more enriching engagements in the future."

  Mr. Ashwyn Kumar
   Gametrix Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., Hyderabad - First prize Winner
" To deliver on our business model, we wanted to work with a telecom player who offered the best of breed technology which is commercially accessible to the vast middle class population of India and Reliance scores heavily on both fronts.

From the technology perspective, we found it considerably easier to work on the open standard platform without wasting time and resources on interoperability and interconnectivity issues. Our effectiveness was compounded by the excellent technical support provided by Reliance in resolving portability and scalability glitches.

Working with Reliance has given us the confidence to address the global market in developing innovative data-centric applications and solutions on the latest generation telecom technologies for truly mass market applications."

" The Reliance Developer Programme of Reliance Communications provided young independent developers like us with the best support, infrastructure and platform to showcase our applications to the world. We worked very closely with Reliance Developer Programme over the last few months to develop our 'Auction' application, which was a highly enriching experience for us. As Reliance is an integrated player with a pan-India presence and over 6 million customers, with big thrust on data services, we feel it presents a never-before opportunity for independent developers in India to test their skills and tap into the globally growing demand for mobile applications."
