Ethernet cards, but now we have diversified into their other products as

well. In fact we have had a 17-year relationship with Intel."

Nebula Technologies is planning to open offices in smaller cities like

Coimbatore, Pune, Lucknow, Jaipur and Chandigarh. The company currently

has branches in Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad and Secunderabad.

Outside India, Nebula has operations in Singapore and the US as well.
