Google acquires start-up by Indian-origin bizman

Google has acquired a business technology start-up founded by an Indian-origin entrepreneur as part of its plans to scale training offerings for Google Apps to its customers and customers’ users. Varun Malhotra is the founder and CEO of Toronto-based Synergyse, which was launched in 2013 with an aim to teach users how to use Google Apps.

Google did not disclose the financial details of the deal. Google Apps Operations Senior Director Peter Scocimara said in a blog post yesterday that Google and its thousands of Google Apps customers have been “excited” about Synergyse.

The Google Apps product suite, which includes Gmail, Calendar, Drive and Docs, was built to provide cloud-based productivity and communications and is now used by more than two million paying businesses around the world, Scocimara said.

Synergyse said by joining the Google Apps team, it can accelerate its mission because the company will be working closer with the teams that build Google Apps. According to his profile on his commonly page, Malhotra specialises in training and strategy and has over 10 years of experience in the enterprise space.
