Mauritius Telecom Launches Internet Offers for SMEs and Start-ups

In a bid to give a boost to the Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) sector, Mauritius Telecom (MT) has launched, a Plug and Play internet offer, MyT Start-Up, for aspiring entrepreneurs. MT also reviewed its Business Boost packages and has come up with a series of interesting offers to provide more benefits and quality services to small enterprises.

Present at the launch, the Chief Executive Officer of MT, Mr. Sherry Singh, underlined that the aim is to further promote the SME sector especially during the pandemic. SMEs, he added, contribute to around 50% of total employment for Mauritius and 36% of the country’s Gross Domestic Product.

Creativity and connectivity, he said, is key to enhancing the performance of a business. Small businesses, he indicated, are more prone to adapting and reacting to new opportunities hence the need to constantly provide innovative products and services to MyT clients.

To this end, Mr. Singh expressed hope that these tailor-made packages by MT will respond to the needs of SMEs of all size.

MyT Start-Up has been designed for aspiring entrepreneurs who wish to launch their business promptly.
