New -Delhi: Three months after Microsoft suddenly suspended the communications and digital services of Nayara Energy, the US technical giant unveiled new protocols on Friday and erected a coordinating body in India to prevent future disruption of critical activities. In a statement, Mike Yeh, local vice president for corporate, external and legal affairs at Microsoft, said the move was “designed to modernize our compliance framework and re-confirm our role as a reliable, long-term partner in the public sector and critical infrastructure domaining healthcare, energy, energy, telecommunications and financial services. Puneet Chandok, president of Microsoft India and South Asia, is chairman of the Clan Council, added Yeh in his statement. The Council will serve the public sector and critical infrastructure, which communicates any regulatory consequences on Microsoft’s services in India. Other measures include a new set of assessment protocols that clearly transmit Microsoft any situation that can disrupt its services to a company due to a foreign regulatory move. Chandok could not be reached for comment. Microsoft said this move will occur in the future sudden service suspensions. In the event that it has a situation similar to Nayara, clients will be notified of any possible disruption, and given time and support by Microsoft to move to a backup cloud service – to ensure that the operations do not have an eclipse. Analysts said Microsoft’s move was “surprising” and added that it shows a stable policy collaboration approach between the US and India, despite disputes over visas and rates. Policy Reforms “The move shows clear intent of importance of entities in the US in terms of collaboration in technology with India. While working out a bilateral trade agreement, companies that offer a proactive policy approach, that Indian clients are one of the most important for the execution of the US – and an adult move that is on Microsoft, and that it is a mistake. ”Says Kazim Rizvi, founder and director of Delhi-based policy thinking, The Dialogue. The move comes in the wake of an incident on July 22, when Microsoft suddenly suspended his Azure Cloud-based services to Nayara Energy. The suspension has led to employees at the Energy Company suddenly losing all access to critical company data, as well as communication systems. Microsoft resumed his services on July 30 and then made it clear that the suspension was automatically caused by statutory policy of its global compliance mechanism. The suspension, Microsoft said at the time because of geopolitical sanctions imposed by the European Union on Russia, on July 18, the US technical services that did not use Russian businesses. Moscow-based Rosneft, a Russian oil and gas business supported by the government, owns 49.13% of Nayara Energy, formerly Essar Oil, owned by Indian entities. Microsoft’s resumption of services was not before Nayara filed a petition against the company with the Delhi High Court, and the Ministry of Electronics, and he answered the reason why Nayara’s services were disrupted – despite the licenses of the latter. Nayara eventually withdrew the petition after the services were restored. “The move will ensure that clients in critical sectors do not face a similar situation in the future. In the case of geopolitical sanctions, Microsoft will pursue legal options in the country that impose the restrictions on ensuring that a critical business in India gets enough time to migrate to a backup cloud service or to access its data – at Microsoft India said. “Microsoft Remains Steadfast in its commitment to make india ai-first with trust, transparency, and collaborative government. As india accelerates its digital journey, we are proud to stand alongside the government, public sector, and critical infrastructure and Support their digital and Ai Vision and Goals.
