Tata Communications will remain as a significant shareholder, holding the remaining 26% stake in the businesses.The joint venture will include Tata Communications' fourteen data centres in key cities across India and its three Singapore facilities. The data centres currently service a highly-diversified customer base, including blue chip enterprises in Asia, e-commerce platforms and global multi-national corporations.
