V2 Technosys has been building a quiet but solid reputation in India’s web services space since 2008 — as a .IN accredited domain registrar, a Google Cloud Partner, a Microsoft 365 Partner, and a one-stop shop for business email hosting, web hosting, and SSL certificates. We spoke with founder Vinay Murarka about what it takes to run a reliable operation in a crowded market, why small businesses still make avoidable mistakes with their email setup, and what genuinely good support actually looks like.
You’ve been in this business since 2008. That’s nearly two decades in a space that reinvents itself every few years. What drove you to start V2 Technosys?
Vinay Murarka: It came from frustration, honestly. I was working with small businesses at the time, helping them get online, and the experience with most domain and hosting providers in India was terrible. The sales process was smooth, the after-sales experience was non-existent. Once a customer had paid and got their login credentials, they were essentially on their own.
There’s a huge difference between a provider and a partner. A provider hands you a product. A partner helps you actually use it, troubleshoots when things go wrong, and is reachable when you need them. That gap is what V2 Technosys was built to fill — for startups, small businesses, and SMEs that don’t have a dedicated IT team and genuinely need someone in their corner.
V2 Technosys is a .IN Accredited Domain Registrar. What does that mean in practical terms, and why should a business care?
Vinay Murarka: It means we’re directly authorised by the National Internet Exchange of India — NIXI — to register .IN and .CO.IN domains. We’re not a sub-reseller routing your registration through someone else. The transaction is direct, the records are clean, and there’s no third-party margin adding unnecessary cost or delay.
For Indian businesses, a .IN domain has real weight — it signals local credibility and is often preferred by customers who want to know they’re dealing with an Indian company. Beyond .IN and .CO.IN, we also handle .COM, .ORG, .NET, .BIZ, and most other popular extensions, so whether you’re registering a new domain, transferring a domain from another registrar, or simply renewing before expiry, we handle it all in one place without you having to juggle multiple logins.
Domain transfer and renewal reminders are something we take seriously too — a lapsed domain is a nightmare, and we make sure customers are never caught off guard.
Google Workspace — formerly known as G Suite — is a big part of what you offer. Walk us through what being an authorised Google Workspace reseller in India actually involves.
Vinay Murarka: People still search for “G Suite” even though Google rebranded it to Google Workspace a few years ago, and the product has come a long way since then. What started as a business email hosting solution has grown into a full cloud productivity suite — Gmail for business with a custom domain email, Google Drive for cloud storage, Google Docs, Sheets, Slides for collaboration, Google Meet for video conferencing, Google Chat for team messaging, and Google Calendar for scheduling. All of it synced across devices, all of it secure.
As an authorised Google Workspace reseller in India, we’re not just distributing licences. We handle the complete setup — domain verification, MX record and DNS configuration, migration of existing emails whether they’re on Outlook, Microsoft Exchange, IMAP, or a legacy business email service, user account creation, and admin console configuration. We also offer INR billing with GST-compliant invoices, which is something customers genuinely appreciate because dealing with Google directly often involves dollar billing and complicated reimbursement for Indian businesses.
After that, we stay available. If a user gets locked out, if you need to add new users as the team grows, if something in the admin console needs changing — we’re a call or message away.
What about Google Workspace pricing in India — is it actually affordable for a small business or startup?
Vinay Murarka: It’s very reasonable, especially when you factor in everything you’re getting. Google Workspace Business Starter, which covers professional custom domain email, 30 GB of pooled cloud storage per user, Google Meet with up to 100 participants, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, and Chat, starts at a price that most small businesses find completely manageable. Business Standard and Business Plus scale up with more storage and additional features for growing teams.
The honest comparison is this: if a business is paying for a shared hosting email account, a separate video conferencing tool, and a cloud storage subscription, they’re probably spending more in total than a Google Workspace plan would cost — with worse integration and less reliability. The 99.9% uptime guarantee alone is worth a lot for a business that depends on email to function.
When you buy through us as an authorised reseller, you get competitive pricing in INR, a proper GST invoice, and all the setup and migration included — which you would otherwise pay for separately.
Google Workspace now includes Gemini AI. Are Indian SMBs actually using it?
Vinay Murarka: Interest is high, adoption is still building. What I see is that people start using Gemini features once they’re comfortable with the core tools. Once you’re genuinely using Gmail and Drive day-to-day, features like Gemini summarising a long email thread, helping draft a reply, or generating a first version of a document start to feel like a real time-saver rather than a novelty.
For small business owners who are doing everything themselves — responding to clients, managing accounts, running operations — any tool that shaves time off routine writing tasks has genuine value. We walk customers through these features during onboarding so they’re not discovering them accidentally six months later.
You’re also a Microsoft 365 Partner. How do you decide what to recommend to a customer?
Vinay Murarka: We lead with the customer’s situation, not our preference. Some businesses are already deeply invested in the Microsoft ecosystem — they rely on advanced Excel functionality, they use Outlook with complex rules and integrations, their infrastructure is Windows-based. For them, Microsoft 365 is the natural continuation. Pushing Google Workspace onto a team like that would create more problems than it solves.
On the other hand, startups, remote teams, and businesses without heavy legacy IT setups often find Google Workspace more intuitive and easier to manage, particularly for collaborative working. The ability to work simultaneously on a Google Doc with colleagues in different cities, without emailing attachments back and forth, is something that genuinely changes how a team operates.
We’re comfortable recommending either, and in some cases we help businesses run both in parallel during a transition. The goal is always to get the customer’s email and productivity setup working well — not to close a particular product sale.
You offer Zoho Mail and Rediffmail Pro as well. Not many resellers bother with these. Who are they for?
Vinay Murarka: Zoho Mail is a strong option for businesses that want professional business email hosting at a lower price point, particularly if they’re already using Zoho CRM, Zoho Books, or other products in the Zoho ecosystem. The integration is seamless, and for a business that doesn’t need everything Google Workspace offers, it’s a smart, cost-effective choice.
Rediffmail Pro has a loyal base among businesses that have been using it for years and have no compelling reason to move. Their email works, their staff knows the interface, and the cost is low. We respect that. Not every customer needs to be migrated to the latest platform — they need a solution that works reliably and has someone to call when it doesn’t.
Let’s talk about web hosting. What types do you offer and who are they suited to?
Vinay Murarka: We offer Linux hosting and Windows hosting for standard websites, cloud hosting for businesses that need better scalability and performance, and reseller hosting for agencies and developers who manage multiple client sites. All hosting accounts come with cPanel-based management, which gives customers meaningful control over their setup without needing a technical background.
Linux hosting is the right fit for most websites — particularly those running WordPress, which powers the majority of small business sites in India today. Windows hosting is specifically for sites built on ASP.NET or applications that require a Windows server environment.
Cloud hosting is where we’ve seen the most growth recently. As businesses become more dependent on their websites for enquiries, bookings, and sales, the flexibility and reliability of cloud hosting becomes much more important than saving a few hundred rupees on a shared plan that might let you down during peak traffic.
What about uptime? That’s a big concern for businesses that depend on their website.
Vinay Murarka: It should be a big concern, and it’s one of the questions we encourage customers to ask any provider before signing up. A website that goes down during business hours — or worse, during a campaign or a sale — can cost far more than the difference in price between a cheap host and a reliable one.
We maintain a 99.9% uptime standard across our hosting services. That’s not a marketing line — it’s something we’re accountable to. When issues do occur, the question is how fast they’re resolved, and that comes back to support. We’re reachable, we respond quickly, and we don’t make customers chase us across a ticket queue to get a simple answer.
Email security seems to be something a lot of small businesses overlook. What are the most common gaps you see?
Vinay Murarka: The biggest one is no two-factor authentication. A business email account with a weak password and no 2FA is an open door. We set up two-factor authentication as a standard part of every Google Workspace deployment, and we explain to customers why it matters — not just as a formality but in concrete terms. If someone’s email gets compromised, they can lose access to everything tied to that account, and recovering it is painful.
Spam protection is the other area. Google Workspace has excellent built-in spam filtering, but there are configuration choices that make a meaningful difference — particularly around email routing and security policies in the admin console. These are things that often get skipped when a business sets up Workspace on their own, and we make sure they’re properly configured from day one.
For businesses in industries handling sensitive client data, we also talk about data loss prevention settings and access controls. It’s not something every small business needs to go deep on, but understanding what’s available and having someone who can implement it when required is part of why having a proper partner matters.
SSL certificates — you offer them separately from hosting. Why is that still something businesses need to be reminded about?
Vinay Murarka: Because there’s still a meaningful portion of Indian business websites running without one, which surprises people when they hear it. An SSL certificate is what enables HTTPS — it’s what puts the padlock in the browser and encrypts the data travelling between your site and your visitors.
Without it, modern browsers display a “Not Secure” warning. That warning is visible before someone reads a word on your page, and it causes a significant number of people to leave immediately. For a business website, that’s lost enquiries and lost revenue.
From an SEO standpoint, Google has used HTTPS as a ranking signal for years. A site without SSL is at a disadvantage in search results compared to a site that has it. We offer SSL certificates starting from ₹60 per month — it’s one of the lowest-cost, highest-impact things a business can do for their website, and there’s genuinely no good reason to be running without one.
Digital transformation is a phrase that gets used a lot. What does it actually look like for a small Indian business coming to V2 Technosys?
Vinay Murarka: For most small businesses, digital transformation is not a grand strategic programme. It’s a series of practical decisions that add up. Getting off a free Gmail account onto a proper custom domain email. Moving from shared hosting to cloud hosting as traffic grows. Setting up Google Workspace so that a team of five can collaborate on documents in real time instead of emailing attachments. Enabling remote work so that staff can access files and meetings from anywhere, not just the office.
Each of those steps sounds small in isolation, but the cumulative effect on how efficiently a business operates is significant. We’ve been helping businesses take those steps since 2008 — during the early days of cloud adoption in India, through the rapid shift to remote work during the pandemic, and now through the integration of AI tools into everyday workflows.
The businesses that have stayed with us and grown with us are ones that treated these decisions as investments rather than costs. That mindset makes all the difference.
Final question — what’s the one thing you wish more businesses knew before they chose a web services provider?
Vinay Murarka: That the real cost isn’t the monthly price — it’s the cost of things going wrong and nobody being there to fix them.
A domain that lapses because you didn’t get a renewal reminder. A business email migration that corrupts half your archive because it was done carelessly. A website that goes down on a Friday evening with no support available until Monday. These are not hypothetical situations — they happen regularly, and they’re almost always the result of choosing the cheapest option without asking the right questions.
Ask a provider what their support hours are. Ask them what happens when something breaks. Ask them whether they’ve migrated businesses from your current email platform before. Ask them whether they’ll be reachable two years from now.
We’ve been reachable since 2008. That’s not something every provider in this space can say.
