The National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI), a not-for-profit organization under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, working since 2003 for spreading internet technology to the citizens of India, launched NIXI-Mandi. Designed with the concept and aim of facilitating NIXI members with a neutral platform for transacting their business, it is a neutral platform for providing network and telecom services.
NIXI-Mandi aims to extend the services of data centres and telecom service providers to the existing and even the new Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The members can use the platform as a compelling value proposition to reach out to prospective clients effectively. Be it cross-connects, last-mile connectivity, cloud computing, international interact bandwidth or ISPs, data centres and telcos can offer any services.
During the inauguration, Anil Kumar Jain, CEO NIXI said, “NIXI-Mandi is the effort of bringing seller and purchaser of various products and services which are being offered by data centres, Telecom Service Providers to our ISPs.
It is an e-commerce platform for the Internet exchange community and the people around us. This has been made possible with the guidance and support of Sh. Ajay Prakash Sawhney, Secretary MeitY and Chairman-NIXI, Board of directors, the entire team of Internet Exchange and efforts of Node officers and BD & Marketing team of NIXI.
NIXI-Mandi is the marketplace that has all the features of an e-platform. This platform is well tested, and sellers have an option to register themselves and various products and services along with specifications and indicative delivery time of the services. There is a possibility for the customer to negotiate and re-negotiate which is not available on normal e-platforms.”
NIXI-Mandi brings a plethora of advantages, including a ready-made market for sellers which will be available only to a limited number of people, while purchasers can get the right price and reduced time in getting a service or product
