Microsoft Outlook Outage Drags On, Disrupting Indian Enterprises and Daily Workflows
Microsoft’s prolonged Outlook disruption continued to ripple through Indian workplaces on Thursday, leaving employees unable to access email, calendars and related productivity tools at the start of the business day. The outage has underscored how deeply enterprise operations in India now depend on cloud-based communication systems, with startups and larger firms alike scrambling for workarounds. For professionals such as Kriti, a Gurugram-based marketing executive, the outage meant a sudden halt to routine work before the day had properly begun. The incident has also revived concerns about business continuity, vendor concentration risk and the operational fragility that can emerge when a single platform underpins critical corporate functions.
