      corporations across industry verticals, government institutions and 
      academia. Their continuing education initiative AVAGMAH offers 
      recognized degree and post-graduate programs for working students

      with its enterprise solution and offer it to their clients.
    
    
      Across India, there is a growing demand for improved, real-time 
      communications, and global operations demanding collaboration on an 
      as-needed basis. “Indian businesses are 
      becoming truly global and the need and market for conferencing services 
      is increasing at a phenomenal rate,” said Anil 
      Chhikara, President of 24x7 Learning. “In today’s 
      cost-sensitive environment, iLinc’s web and 
      video conferencing offerings provide a much needed and effective 
      solution for the online collaboration needs of our clients. We are 
      excited about the partnership and the opportunities that await us.” 
      He added, “iLinc’s 
      web conferencing software and online collaboration solutions will be 
      implemented as part of our Corporate Virtual University solutions, to 
      facilitate the spread of learning in the corporate. We will also 
      optimally leverage iLinc in AVAGMAH, our continuing education initiative 
      to reach out to students across geographies.”
    
    
      Improvements in broadband infrastructure, increase in travel costs, 
      green initiatives and globalization are influencing demand for web 
      conferencing software solutions and driving expansion in India. 
      Supporting green initiatives, iLinc’s 
      patent-pending Green 
      Meter™ tracks carbon emissions along with 
      fuel and travel costs saved per meeting. Adopting conferencing on the 
      web with video, and implementing eLearning initiatives will increase an 
      organization’s Green Meter score. Mr. 
      Chhikara added, “We are excited about the 
      role that iLinc’s Green Meter™ 
      will play in helping India’s enterprises 
      contribute to enhancing the environment.”
    
    
      “Recent studies predict enormous growth for 
      conferencing in India,” said Jason Walker, 
      vice president of sales for iLinc. “So we 
      look forward to a very successful relationship and the opportunity to 
      have 24x7 Learning’s clients benefit from our 
      online meeting software solutions.”
