Announcing the launch in New Delhi, company founder and CEO Sachin Duggal said Nivio allows global access to a personal virtual desktop from any Internet connected device.

Targetted at the student community and executives, Nivio subscription is priced at Rs 399 per month and Rs 199 per month for students.
