Good news from the Virtual Worlds!

Indusgeeks has been chosen as a Gold Service Provider by Linden Lab for the Second Life Grid. This makes Indusgeeks only one of  two  companies  in the entire Asia Pacific Region ( the other one being a Japanese firm) to be represented in this accredited category.

This is an extract from the Linden Blog : ” The Gold Solution Provider Program is the first of its kind in the virtual worlds industry, reflecting the strength, longevity, and unique ability for users to create and own their content on the Second Life platform. The new Gold Program identifies exceptionally qualified Solution Providers with a high level of client satisfaction, a track record of developing successful Second Life projects, and demonstrated expertise working with real world organizations. Today, we are inducting 31 Gold Solution Providers into the program who comes from the United States, Europe and Asia (full list of members below). They have business backgrounds in areas ranging from design and web development to marketing agencies and training, and have developed projects for multinational corporations, educational institutions, government agencies, and non-profits”.

This marks a major milestone for us as a company and establishes our strong partnership with the major players in this space like Intel, Sun and now Linden Lab.

Indusgeeks is actively pursuing newer applications and services on Virtual World platforms such as Second Life and this marks a first of its kind recognition for a company in this space in India.
