The licence costs the same; the invoice does not.Buying Microsoft 365 through an Indian CSP reseller is not a markup on Microsoft’s list price. What changes is that you are billed in rupees with a GST invoice against your GSTIN — recoverable as input credit if you are registered, which a card receipt often is not — and that tenant setup, migration and a named support contact in your own timezone come with it rather than being your problem afterwards.
Six things that change
Invoiced in rupees
Buying direct from Microsoft generally means a card charge. Through an Indian CSP reseller you are invoiced in INR, which your accounts team can process like any other supplier bill.
A GST invoice against your GSTIN
This is the practical financial argument. Software subscriptions attract GST at 18% in India, and if you are registered that is normally recoverable as input credit — which requires a proper tax invoice, not a card receipt.
Support in your working hours
A named contact who works when you work. Microsoft's own support is a global queue that starts by establishing who you are; ours starts already knowing how your tenant is configured.
Migration included in the engagement
Licences bought direct arrive as an empty tenant. Moving mail and files from Google Workspace, cPanel webmail, on-premise Exchange or PST archives is part of what we do.
No surcharge for buying through us
CSP reselling is not a markup on Microsoft's list price. What changes is the billing currency, the tax document, and what comes around the licence.
Licences sized before you commit
Microsoft's plan matrix is genuinely hard to reason about and most businesses overbuy. We size it against what people actually do before the annual commitment starts.
Microsoft 365 services across India
Licensing is the smallest part. The work is sizing the plan correctly, moving the data without losing any, and configuring the security the defaults do not give you.
Implementation
Tenant, domain and DNS, identity, a real security baseline, SharePoint and Teams structure, documented and handed over.
swap_horizMigration
Mail, calendars, contacts and files moved and verified against the source, with the cutover planned around how you trade.
receipt_longLicensing
Which plan for whom, the with-Teams and without-Teams lines, and the traps that cost Indian SMEs money every renewal.
paymentsPricing in INR
Microsoft's India list prices, what GST adds, and annual versus monthly commitment — with the date every figure was checked.
securitySecurity
Multi-factor authentication, conditional access, device management and the baseline the defaults do not give you.
support_agentSupport
A named contact who already knows your configuration, covering your DNS and connected systems rather than the product alone.
settingsAdministration
Joiners, movers and leavers, licence housekeeping, and policy as the business changes.
schoolTraining
Short, role-specific sessions in your own tenant so people actually use SharePoint and Teams.
Four things that only matter in India
None of these appear on Microsoft’s global marketing, and all four come up in essentially every conversation we have with an Indian business.
GST at 18%, and why the invoice matters
Microsoft states "GST extra as applicable" against every India price. Software subscriptions of this kind attract 18%, so budget roughly a fifth above the list figures. If you are GST-registered that is normally recoverable — but only against a proper tax invoice carrying your GSTIN, which an international card charge does not reliably give you.
Currency and card charges
A direct purchase is typically a card transaction, which can bring conversion costs and a receipt your accounts team struggles to book. An INR invoice removes both problems.
The 300-user ceiling
Microsoft caps the Business plans at 300 users per tenant. It is a hard limit rather than a guideline, and organisations growing through 250 should plan for enterprise licensing before it bites at renewal.
Data residency is a real question here
Microsoft lists India as a Local Region Geography, which means Advanced Data Residency is available to tenants there for certain in-scope services. What applies to a specific tenant depends on the services and how it was set up, so we confirm it rather than assert it.
Prices checked 21 September 2026; Microsoft’s data-residency documentation checked 22 September 2026.
Organisations we deploy Microsoft 365 for
Finance-led businesses
Organisations that genuinely run on desktop Excel — macros, models, Power Query. This is the clearest case for Microsoft over the alternatives.
Manufacturers and industrial suppliers
Shop-floor and ERP systems that expect Outlook and Exchange, and dealer networks that need reliable domain email.
Logistics and distribution
Multi-branch operations where the same documents and records need to be reachable from several locations.
Healthcare and clinics
Patient-adjacent records where access control, retention and device management are not optional extras.
Schools and colleges
Staff and student accounts structured separately, with safeguarding settings decided deliberately rather than left at default.
Professional services
Firms producing long, formatted documents and sharing them with clients under controlled access.
Based in Kerala, working across India
Microsoft 365 deployment is remote work in any case — tenant, DNS, migration and administration are all done from wherever we are. The thing proximity actually buys you is a shared timezone, which matters most during a cutover and the week after it.
Kerala
Where we are based, and where most of our in-person work happens. All fourteen districts, from Thiruvananthapuram to Kasaragod.
Rest of India
Worked remotely, which is how Microsoft 365 deployment is done in any case. The shared timezone is the part that matters.
Kerala districts we cover
All fourteen. Listed here as places we work rather than as offices we keep — Tech Geum has one address, in Malappuram district, and we do not claim premises anywhere else. The Kerala page covers how businesses here actually use it.
Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) · Kollam · Pathanamthitta · Alappuzha (Alleppey) · Kottayam · Idukki · Ernakulam (Kochi) · Thrissur · Palakkad · Malappuram · Kozhikode (Calicut) · Wayanad · Kannur · Kasaragod
Direct from Microsoft, or through a CSP reseller
The licence is identical and so is the list price. Everything that differs sits around it.
| Direct from Microsoft | Through Tech Geum | |
|---|---|---|
| Billing currency | Card charge, commonly in USD | Invoiced in INR |
| Tax document | A receipt that may not support input credit | A GST invoice against your GSTIN |
| List price | Microsoft's list price | Not a surcharge on Microsoft's list price |
| Setup | An empty tenant | Configured, with a security baseline applied |
| Migration | Not included | Scoped and quoted as part of the engagement |
| Support | Microsoft's global ticket queue | A named contact in your timezone |
| Renewal | Auto-renews at whatever you bought | Right-sized before the commitment restarts |
Four stages, quoted before anything starts
Requirement call
User count, what you run today, DNS, devices, and any compliance obligations. No charge, and it ends in a scope rather than a proposal.
Plan and quote
A plan mix per role rather than one plan for everybody, with migration scope and a cutover window — quoted in INR with GST before anything starts.
Build and migrate
Tenant configured and data migrated and verified while your existing system stays live and authoritative.
Cutover and handover
MX records switched at a window you choose, watched through, then documentation and a support period while questions are frequent.

Microsoft 365 in India — common questions
helpIs Tech Geum a Microsoft partner in India?
expand_more
Tech Geum is a Microsoft 365 partner and an indirect Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) reseller, based in Kerala and working with businesses across India. That means we can licence Microsoft 365 to your organisation, invoice it in INR with GST, and handle implementation, migration and support in the same relationship. We do not claim a Microsoft Solutions Partner designation or any partner tier, because we do not hold one.
helpHow much does Microsoft 365 cost in India?
expand_more
On Microsoft's India list, checked 21 September 2026, the with-Teams Business plans are ₹170 per user per month for Business Basic, ₹860 for Business Standard and ₹1,830 for Business Premium, on an annual commitment with GST extra. Microsoft also sells a separate without-Teams line at lower prices. Our pricing page carries the full tables and explains what the July 2026 repackaging changed.
helpDoes buying through an Indian reseller cost more?
expand_more
No. CSP reselling is not a markup on Microsoft's list price. What changes is that you are invoiced in rupees with a GST invoice rather than charged on a card, and that tenant setup, migration and a named support contact come with it rather than being things you work out afterwards.
helpCan we claim GST input credit on Microsoft 365?
expand_more
If your business is GST-registered, tax paid on a business software subscription is normally recoverable as input credit. The practical requirement is a proper tax invoice carrying your GSTIN — which is exactly what an international card charge often fails to provide in a usable form. For many Indian businesses this, rather than the headline price, is the real financial argument for buying locally.
helpWhere is our Microsoft 365 data stored?
expand_more
Microsoft lists India as a Local Region Geography, and states that tenants in such geographies have access to Advanced Data Residency, which provides additional data residency commitments for certain in-scope services. What applies to your specific tenant depends on which services you use and how the tenant was provisioned, so we confirm the position for you rather than make a blanket claim. Microsoft's documentation checked 22 September 2026.
helpDo you work with businesses outside Kerala?
expand_more
Yes. Tech Geum is based in Kerala and works with businesses across India. Licensing, tenant setup, migration and administration are all done remotely, so physical proximity is not a requirement. What does matter is the shared timezone and working hours — particularly during a cutover and the week afterwards, which is when questions actually arrive.
helpHow many users do we need to buy through you?
expand_more
There is no minimum we insist on. We work with organisations from a handful of users upward. What changes with size is the shape of the engagement rather than whether we will take it on — a five-person business usually needs a straightforward setup, while a hundred-user organisation needs plan-mix analysis and a migration planned in batches.
helpWhat if we are already on Microsoft 365 with someone else?
expand_more
You can move a tenant to a different CSP reseller without rebuilding anything — your data, users and configuration stay exactly as they are. People usually ask about this at renewal. It is also a reasonable moment for a licence review, because a tenant nobody has examined for a couple of years almost always has something worth reclaiming.
