Case Study: Essar Group achieves 65% cost reduction and superior scalability with Microsoft Azure

Multinational Conglomerate Improves Service Offerings with Cloud Power

Essar Group, a Mumbai‑headquartered multinational conglomerate operating in steel, energy, power, communications, shipping, ports, logistics and construction, needed to offer web-based applications with high performance and scalability while cutting capital investment and ongoing IT management costs.

Essar migrated four applications to the Microsoft Azure platform with implementation support from MindTree, leveraging Azure’s pay‑as‑you‑go compute, storage and service management. The move eliminated on‑premises infrastructure, reduced costs by about 65%, lowered management overhead and delivered the scalable, on‑demand environment that lets IT focus on mission‑critical work.
