With this level of market growth comes the responsibility from data centre owners and providers to ensure the health & safety of its employees and visitors.
One market in particular that is growing at a phenomenal rate is India.

The health & safety of our people is our top priority. Colt DCS is only as successful as its people and its partner workforces. By implementing standards, protocols, processes and measures, this demonstrates the value that Colt DCS places on its employees and its partners. In addition, it also reassures everyone about our commitment to ensuring the safety of everyone on one of our worksites.
Colt DCS can’t serve its customers if its workforce is not healthy and safe. As India continues to experience an unprecedented growth of mass cloud adoption, mobile internet, and the digitalisation of industries, simultaneously, Colt DCS has the responsibility of meeting growing customer expectations by providing a best in class service delivered by their highly motivated Mumbai team.
