In India, it is now focusing on getting large clients, to take over competitor products like Microsoft's Office 365 and IBM's Lotus Notes.

"Sometimes companies are locked into enterprise agreements. So we offer it to them free for the remainder of their contract, so they don't have to pay twice. We have about 2,00,000 companies evaluating Apps-for-Work while tied to another contract," Marotte added.
To attract new companies, it has entered into a tie-up with domain-name providers like Big Rock, so that small-and-medium businesses start using its products right from the time when they go online.
