WSO2, an API management, integration, and customer identity and access management (CIAM) services provider, has partnered with Microsoft to streamline cloud-native application development for Indian startups on Microsoft Azure using Choreo. Choreo, WSO2's cloud-native internal developer platform on Azure, provides startups access to essential tools, reducing both the time and costs associated with development.
In a press release, WSO2 and Microsoft said cloud-native app development has gained traction for its benefits, but its complexity remains a challenge for startups; this collaboration addresses the hurdle, offering startups comprehensive access to resources, support, and technical expertise. Choreo leverages over 30 Azure services, including Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure Key Vault, and Azure DevOps.
Kanchana Wickremasinghe, VP and GM of the SaaS Business Unit at WSO2, highlighted Choreo's role, stating, "Choreo simplifies cloud-native app development, enhancing developer productivity and accelerating time to market for new products and solutions."
Choreo is available on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. The collaboration targets India's startup community, with initial emphasis on major cities like Bengaluru, Gurgaon, Mumbai, Pune, and Chennai.
Sangeeta Bavi, Executive Director, Digital Natives, Microsoft India, said on the initiative, "This ... will support Indian startups by alleviating investment costs and offering essential support in navigating the competitive landscape."
According to a PwC India report, startup funding fell by 36% in the January-June 2023 period due to extended due diligence. This collaboration aims to address these challenges, providing startups with tools and support to accelerate their journey from concept to product.
