“As part of the partnership, we will offer customers Office 365 Personal that includes Microsoft products like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, One Note, Outlook Access, and Publisher,” Hathway stated.

A one-year subscription for Rs 999 per month will allow consumers to have 1TB of cloud storage on OneDrive and high speed up to 200 megabytes per second.

The new service will be offered first in Bengaluru and Chennai and will be rolled out in other cities subsequently.

“India is witnessing a paradigm shift in the way entertainment is consumed. From a fixed television format of viewership to the anytime, any device, any place pattern,” Rajan Gupta, Hathway Managing Director, said in a statement.

With smartphones and smart televisions being used for communication, commerce, content, and entertainment, consumers will be able to store, access and share any file any time on any device in a safe and secure manner.

“With rapid growth in data consumption across multiple devices, we observed that customers were feeling a need for better storage options. Our initiative will address that need with safe and secure ways of sharing and viewing files online with cloud storage of Microsoft,” Gupta stated.

According to Priyadarshi Mohapatra, Microsoft India General Manager, Consumer and Devices Sales, said that Office 365 Personal would help consumers get things done from anywhere on their favorite device.

“Office 365 and OneDrive make up a strong platform for consumers to be more productive, work across multiple devices, stay connected with Skype, enable document sharing, store files and share pictures and other digital memories with OneDrive,” Priyadarshi Mohapatra said.

Microsoft Office Lands on Google Chromebooks

Microsoft Office 365 is now available for Chromebook users. 

Microsoft Office is now accessible for Google Chromebook users through the Google Play Store – a notable addition, given the two companies offer competing products in terms of office productivity software.

Neither Google nor Microsoft is making a formal statement yet about the Office applications’ arrival on Chromebooks.

This is the first time Office has been available to Chromebook users through Google Play as a general release. Although, a report today said that some consumers of the Chromebook had been able to get Microsoft Office form the beta version of the Play Store.
