India’s largest Internet Exchange and Interconnection platform,  DE-CIX India , has introduced the  ‘INDIA First Digital Emergency Kit’  to support a robust digital infrastructure in the country. This initiative is designed to help organisations prepare for connectivity disruptions and strengthen digital resilience across India’s increasingly digital economy. The initiative is aimed at businesses and critical digital ecosystems where reliable connectivity is essential to everyday operations, including financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, government, education, telecom, cloud, data centers, e-commerce and digital services.

With India’s rapidly growing digital economy becoming increasingly dependent on always-on connectivity, resilience needs to extend beyond applications, data centres and disaster recovery to the network paths connecting them. Interconnection can provide additional pathways for traffic, helping organisations reduce dependence on individual routes and strengthen continuity when disruption occurs.
