The Beginning of Our Partnership
The D Y Patil Group has been a true pioneer, redefining the landscape of higher education in Maharashtra and beyond. For Gazon Communications, D Y Patil was more than a customer they were our first-ever Internet Leased Line (ILL) client, even before we formally launched our B2B ILL services. Starting around 2014–2015 with just a 50 Mbps connection, the trust placed in us allowed this to gradually expand to 500 Mbps over the next five years.
The Turning Point
The COVID-19 pandemic presented unprecedented challenges. With campuses closed and bandwidth consumption dropping sharply, our long-standing relationship was impacted, and by 2020, services were discontinued due to the changing scenario and heightened competition. But where there is a will, there is a way. Our consistent engagement, proven service quality, and commitment to long-term partnerships paved the path for a reconnection
The Growth Story
Today, after sustained efforts and relationship nurturing, Gazon Communications proudly serves more than 8 locations of the D Y Patil Group. The group once again trusts Gazon for their critical connectivity requirements, making them one of our largest education-sector customers in terms of bandwidth consumption. From a modest start to a strategic multi-location engagement, our journey with D Y Patil Group is a true testament to trust, perseverance, and service excellence.
