Adobe Creative Cloud for Teams India: pricing and rollout
A 320-user Mumbai D2C brand was paying for a 28-seat All Apps tenant, a separate 110-seat Canva plan, and a stack of personal Adobe logins nobody tracked. We mapped every seat against what people actually opened, folded it onto one VIP tenant, and reclaimed Rs 42 lakh a year without anyone losing a tool they used.
