A small IT team in a Pune-based ed-tech startup is firefighting a bandwidth issue during a live virtual class. Across the country, a retail chain in Delhi struggles to secure its POS systems at remote branches. Neither has the time, tools, or technical depth to build a scalable, secure, and centrally managed network.
This isn’t the exception. It’s the norm across India’s emerging business ecosystem. Network complexity has risen. Infrastructure spending hasn’t kept pace.
The result? A growing mismatch between business ambition and network readiness. That’s where Meraki Managed Services enters the frame.
Traditional networks depend on human oversight. They assume manual updates, local provisioning, and on-premises troubleshooting. That model collapses when you add scale, remote branches, hybrid work, and always-on security needs.
Cloud-managed networking, by contrast, treats network infrastructure like software.
For Indian SMBs, this shift is more than a tech upgrade. It’s an operational rethink.
Meraki’s product architecture aligns perfectly with India’s distributed, cost-conscious, high-growth businesses. Zero-touch provisioning, centralised dashboards, and built-in security remove the IT skill bottleneck.
But the real advantage appears when Meraki is offered as a managed service. Let’s say your company opens a warehouse in Bhiwandi, adds pop-up retail locations in Gurugram malls, and rolls out a BYOD policy in its Bengaluru HQ. Without managed services, your IT team must configure, ship, troubleshoot, and monitor all of this in-house.
With Proactive’s Meraki Managed Services, you get pre-configured equipment, policy-driven templates, remote rollouts, centralised monitoring, and 24x7 support, all without hiring more people.
IT heads care about outcomes, not technologies. They want uptime, visibility, compliance, and support. Most of all, they want a partner who’ll take network ownership without complicating procurement.
That’s why the combination of Meraki and Proactive works. One gives you a secure, scalable, cloud-managed stack. The other gives you SLA-backed assurance, NOC oversight, zero-touch rollouts, and seamless support.
IDC predicts that by 2027, 60% of networking operations globally will be remotely managed. India is currently behind that curve. But the growth rate is accelerating fast, especially in tech-forward cities.
Managed Meraki adoption in India is no longer nascent. It’s visible, growing, and increasingly being tied to business metrics: uptime, support ticket reduction, faster branch rollouts, improved compliance.
Proactive checks each box. More importantly, we treat cloud-managed networking as a service, not a product. That mindset is rare. It’s also essential.
If you’re spending time managing your network, you’re doing someone else’s job. Your job is to deliver business value. The rest should be invisible.
Meraki Managed Services from Proactive make that possible. Not by promising simplicity, but by delivering it through architecture, support, and execution.
Proactive’s Meraki Managed Services are trusted by mid-market businesses across India. From Wi-Fi rollout to full-stack visibility, we take full ownership, so you can focus on what matters.
