Lavasa, Cisco and Wipro Collaborate

to Develop India’s First Sustainable,

Intelligent and Connected City

The companies to partner in building India’s first complete e-city

Mumbai, India - July 7, 2010:

Lavasa Corporation Ltd, Cisco and Wipro  today signed definitive agreements for Cisco to participate in MyCity Technology Limited, a company set up by Lavasa and Wipro last year to provide ICT services in the new development of Lavasa City, India’s first complete e-city. The strategic collaboration between the three companies, to build a next generation intelligent sustainable community, is based on a shared vision of sustainable urbanization, Cisco®’s Smart+Connected Communities initiative, and Wipro’s ICT solutions and services.

 

Lavasa City is free India's first and largest Hill City being developed by Lavasa Corporation Ltd, a part of HCC Group. MyCity Technology Ltd. will leverage the strengths of the three companies to help make Lavasa City the first complete e-city in India. By planning, implementing and managing information and Communication Technology (ICT) services across Lavasa City, MyCity Technology Ltd. aims to make Lavasa City the most technologically advanced city in the world.

As part of the collaboration, Cisco will be the preferred technology partner for ICT products and architecture and use its Smart+Connected Communities initiative and Service Delivery Platform to help make Lavasa City a smart and sustainable city of the future. Cisco’s Smart+Connected Communities vision is that the network as the platform can transform physical communities to connected communities run on networked information to achieve economic, social and environmental sustainability. A foundational, open-architecture platform, Cisco’s Service Delivery Platform enables Cisco and its ecosystem to create and deploy new smart services and applications to community citizens as well as people that manage and operate the community infrastructure.

Wipro will provide its expertise in areas like city management services, e-governance, ICT infrastructure and value added services, including proposing and implementing intelligent home solutions and digital lifestyles. Wipro will also design the detailed infrastructure for telecom services for governance, as well as solutions for the residents of Lavasa City and their visitors. Wipro will provide telecom-based services that will facilitate smart homes and buildings, including integrated building management systems, physical security requirements and other on-demand services.
Mr. Ajit Gulabchand, Chairman, Lavasa Corporation Limited, commenting on the new development, said, "MyCity Technology Ltd. is yet another step towards making Lavasa City a truly planned and well managed city. Together with Cisco and Wipro, we will use Information and Communication Technology to provide smart governance, and enhance quality of life for residents. Our partnership with Cisco and Wipro, global leaders in their domain, will enable Lavasa to set new benchmarks on city development and management through effective use of modern technology.”

Mr. Wim Elfrink, Chief Globalisation Officer and Executive Vice President, Cisco Services, said, “Cisco envisions a future where successful communities and cities will run on networked information enabling economic development, better city management and an improved quality of life for citizens. We are honoured to collaborate with Lavasa Corporation Ltd and Wipro to make Lavasa City economically, socially and environmentally sustainable. Cities and communities can be sustainable by embracing smart regulation and strategic public private partnerships with technology as an enabler. Everything connected to the network in these Smart+Connected Communities can be greener, more intelligent and more secure.”

Mr. Anurag Mehrotra, Vice President & Head Client relationship group, Wipro, said, “We are delighted to be engaged in this pioneering venture to create a unique e-enabled city in India. As a strategic partner to Lavasa, we embarked on this journey last year to combine cutting-edge technology with our global best practices in the ICT area to deliver innovative services to residents and businesses operating from Lavasa. The entry of Cisco, a world leader in networking technology and a key partner of Wipro for more than a decade, will ensure Lavasa gets the best in technology innovation backed by our expertise in architecting, implementing and managing networking technologies."  

The three companies will bring together complementary skills, capabilities and solutions to help improve economic development, environmental sustainability, and the quality of life for citizens. The companies will also look to develop a broad ecosystem of strategic design, development and technology partners to enable and drive network-enabled city-scale innovation.
