IT Licensing & Hardware for Indian SMBs

Right-sized Microsoft 365, Windows Server, Adobe, Autodesk and HPE hardware for 5 – 100 employee businesses across India.

Small and medium businesses (5 – 100 employees) form the backbone of India's economy — and their IT budgets are tight. INDIA ENTERPRISES specialises in right-sizing Microsoft, Adobe, Autodesk, Zoho and HPE hardware to SMB workloads without over-selling.

Whether you're a 10-seat startup, a 40-seat consulting firm or a 90-seat retail chain, we structure the deal (ESD / CSP monthly / Open Value 3-year) to match your cash flow, headcount volatility and expected 3 – 5 year IT roadmap.

Typical SMB IT stack we recommend

  • Microsoft 365 Business Standard or Premium — Outlook, Word, Excel, Teams, Intune device management. Approximately ₹1,150 – ₹2,000 per user/month (annual).
  • Windows Server 2022 Standard + User CALs — a domain controller / file server for shared files, printers, backups. Total for 20-seat office: ~₹1.8 L.
  • Zoho One or Zoho CRM — CRM, invoicing, HR in one bundle. Approximately ₹3,000 per user/month (Zoho One) or ₹1,300 – ₹4,000 per user/month (CRM only).
  • HPE ProLiant ML110 Gen11 or ML350 Gen11 — one tower server for on-prem file / AD / small SQL workload. Approximately ₹1.6 – ₹6.8 L.
  • Adobe Creative Cloud (Team) — if you have designers on staff. Approximately ₹72,000 per seat/year.

How we help SMBs save 15 – 30 %

SMBs typically over-buy licenses (paying for Enterprise editions when Standard suffices) or under-buy (skipping CALs, unlicensed VMs, expired Software Assurance). We audit your current stack, recommend right-sized SKUs, and negotiate volume pricing where you qualify. Typical savings: 15 – 30 % vs going direct.

Frequently asked questions

What's the best Microsoft 365 plan for a 10-person Indian startup?
Microsoft 365 Business Standard (~₹1,150/user/month) is the sweet spot — desktop Office apps + Teams + OneDrive + Outlook + shared inbox. Upgrade to Business Premium if you also need centralised device management (Intune) and Defender for Business.
Can I buy Windows Server for a 15-person SMB in India?
Yes — Windows Server 2022 Standard OEM (₹80,900) + 15 User CALs (~₹49,500) = ~₹1.3 L total for the OS side. Add an HPE ProLiant ML30 tower server (~₹1.5 L) for the hardware. Total under ₹3 L for a proper on-prem file / AD / print server.
Do you offer payment plans for Indian SMBs?
Yes — Open Value spreads Microsoft licence payment over 3 annual instalments, and CSP allows monthly billing. HPE hardware can be leased through HPE Finance India (36 – 60 months). Contact us for options that match your cash flow.
