GRMS also comprises of proprietary tools, which will enable Indiaserver's partners to carry out e-business diagnostic reviews and solve business problems, according to Mr Karan Ahluwalia, who heads the portal's operations in India. PwC's risk management solutions and consultancy services will be made available to Indiaserver's partners at a discount. The portal and PwC have struck a revenue sharing deal but Mr Ahluwalia did not disclose the extent to which PwC will offer discounts to its partners or how they plan to share revenues, though he said it would be done on a case by case basis. PwC GRMS provides end-to-end risk management solutions for e-businesses. These include e-diagnostics, which relies on PwC's Electronic Business Maturity Model Assessment framework. ServeTrust, PwCBetterweb and Enterprise Security Architecture are other PwC tools, which function in the areas of operational resilience, disclosure seal and security. PwC and Indiaserver.com will leverage their resources to assess, design,implement and maintain e-business operations for the business partners, according to Mr Ahluwalia.

Indiaserver is a five year old portal, which has been operational out of the US. The company had initiated dialogue with a BPL Group company last year and it is reliably learnt that an investment deal had been underway. The deal however appears to have fallen through, though Mr Ahluwalia was not willing to comment on the issue. He did however confirm that there had been no investment in the company from BPL. Talks between the two parties had been widely reported in the media last year.
