Cover Page

1. We note your cover page disclosure that entities affiliated with your CEO, Chairman and Managing Director, Mr. Raju Vegesna, beneficially own approximately 84.11% of your outstanding equity shares. Please revise to disclose, on the cover page and in the prospectus summary, whether you will be a “controlled company” as defined under the relevant Nasdaq listing rules and, if so, whether you intend to rely on “controlled company” exemptions. To the extent you will be considered a “controlled company”, please include risk factor disclosure that discusses the effect, risks and uncertainties of being designated a controlled company, including but not limited to, the result that you may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements.

Response

We confirm that the Company qualifies as a “controlled company” as defined under the Nasdaq listing rules. However, the Company does not rely upon the corporate governance exemptions available to controlled companies. We have updated our disclosure on the prospectus cover page and in the prospectus summary accordingly. We have also included a risk factor about our controlled company status on page 34.

We trust the foregoing is responsive to the Staff’s comments. If you have any additional comments or questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Company at praveen.krishna@sifycorp.com or +919840926523 or our counsel at gregory.harrington@arnoldporter.com or (202) 942 5082 and carlos.pelaez@arnoldporter.com or (202) 942 5988.

Yours truly,

/s/ M. P. Vijay Kumar
