Business Premium E3 E5 E7 Frontier Suite · GA 1 May 2026

Microsoft 365 Price India — E3 vs E5 vs E7 INR Quote

The right Microsoft 365 plan saves you ~30% on standalone licences. The wrong one wastes ~₹15,000/user/year on tools you don't use. We size it for your environment, quote it in INR with GST, and tell you when E3 is enough — even when E5 carries a higher margin for us.

Microsoft's new E7 Frontier Suite (E5 + Copilot + Entra Suite + Agent 365) became generally available 1 May 2026. Most enterprises don't need E7 yet — we'll tell you honestly whether you do.

First, pick the right family

Most buyers don't realise Office 365 E3/E5 and Microsoft 365 E3/E5 are different products. Picking the wrong family on a 100-user purchase can cost you ₹6 lakh+ a year in duplicate Windows licences, missing Intune, or absent Conditional Access.

OFFICE 365

Productivity + Collaboration + Some Security

You get Office apps, Teams, Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, plus the security stack at the E3/E5 tier. No Windows 11 Enterprise, no Intune, no Entra ID Premium P1 bundled.

▶ Pick if: you already have Windows Enterprise via volume licensing or Software Assurance, and you don't need Intune today.

MICROSOFT 365

Office 365 + Windows + Intune + Identity

Everything in Office 365 at the same tier, plus Windows 11 Enterprise upgrade rights, Microsoft Intune (MDM/MAM) and Entra ID P1 (M365 E3) or P2 (M365 E5). One bundle, one renewal date.

▶ Pick if: you're standardising endpoints, need device management, or want Conditional Access without buying Entra P1 separately.

Why E5 (or E7) often beats à la carte

The list price comparison is rarely the right comparison. The right comparison is what you'd pay for the same components separately.

E3 → E5 upgrade

What you stop having to buy separately when you upgrade to E5:

Power BI Pro standalone~$10/user/mo
Defender for Endpoint P2 standalone~$5/user/mo
Defender for Identity standalone~$5/user/mo
Defender for Cloud Apps standalone~$5/user/mo
Entra ID P2 (PIM + Identity Protection)~$3/user/mo
Standalone subtotal~$28/user/mo

▶ E5 typically delivers a ~30–40% saving vs buying these standalone — and bundles Sentinel + Purview Premium on top.

E5 → E7 (Frontier Suite) upgrade

E7 is E5 plus three previously-separate products. Microsoft's USD list math:

Microsoft 365 Copilot$30/user/mo
Entra Suite (ID Gov + ZTNA + SWG + Verified ID)$12/user/mo
Agent 365 (AI-agent registry + governance)$15/user/mo
Standalone add-ons subtotal$57/user/mo

▶ E7 list is ~$99/user/mo (E5 + $57 add-ons priced together). The Copilot + Entra Suite + Agent 365 stack alone costs $57 standalone — E7 effectively bundles the E5 base for the remaining ~$42.

▶ Honest take

Most Indian enterprises don't yet have an AI-agent estate that justifies E7. If you're not deploying agents in production today, E5 + Copilot add-on for the 10–20 users who will use it is the cheaper path. We tell you that in the quote — even though E7's bigger margin would suit us.

What every M365 quote forgets

The line items that aren't in the headline price but show up in month two of the contract.

▶ READ THE QUOTE FOR THESE
  • Teams Phone calling plan — Teams Phone is included in some bundles, but the actual PSTN calling needs a separate India calling plan add-on.
  • Microsoft 365 Copilot — Add-on on every plan except E7. Pricing applies per user, per month, on top of the base licence.
  • Power BI Pro per user — Bundled in E5 and E7; add-on for everything below.
  • Entra ID P1 in Office 365 plans — Not included. Office 365 E3/E5 do NOT bundle Entra ID P1; only Microsoft 365 E3/E5 do. Catches buyers who expected Conditional Access.
  • Customer Lockbox — Only on E5 and E7. Required by some Indian regulators for tenant-data access governance.
  • Sentinel data ingestion above the included quota — E5 includes ~50 MB/day. Above that, Sentinel pricing kicks in per GB.
  • Migration / co-existence — Exchange / Google Workspace / Zimbra → M365 mailbox migration is a project, not a click. We quote it transparently as part of the same proposal.

Why buy M365 through Ogma

Four things we consistently get told we do better than the average CSP.

▶ INR · NO FX

Quoted in INR, billed in INR

No "USD list × today's FX rate" surprises. Locked-in INR pricing for the term, with monthly GST-compliant invoices.

▶ HONEST SIZING

We tell you when E3 is enough

E5 carries a higher margin for us than E3, but if you don't need PIM + Sentinel + Defender Endpoint P2, we'll say so. Same for the E5 → E7 question.

▶ ONE INVOICE

CSP single invoice + ITC

M365 + Azure + Windows Server consolidated into one INR invoice with GST broken out. Full input-tax-credit eligibility with proper HSN coding.

▶ MIGRATION

Migration support included

Exchange / Google Workspace / Zimbra / Zoho mailbox + drive migration scoped and quoted as part of the same proposal — not a separate ask after you've signed.

Frequently asked questions

Office 365 E3/E5 is productivity + collaboration + some security. Microsoft 365 E3/E5 adds Windows 11 Enterprise upgrade rights, Microsoft Intune (device management) and Entra ID Premium (P1 for M365 E3, P2 for M365 E5). If your users already have Windows Enterprise via volume licensing or Software Assurance, Office 365 plans are commercially better. If you need Intune and Entra ID bundled, pick Microsoft 365.

Microsoft 365 E7 became generally available on 1 May 2026. It bundles E5, Microsoft 365 Copilot, the Entra Suite and the new Agent 365 control plane for AI agents. Most Indian enterprises do not yet have an AI-agent estate that justifies E7. If you are not deploying production agents this year, E5 plus a Copilot add-on for the 10-20 users who will use it daily is typically the cheaper path. We will tell you honestly which way the math goes for your sizing.

Microsoft's website lists USD prices. Ogma's CSP price is in INR and includes applicable GST. CSP partners may also receive special pricing tiers — meaning Ogma's INR price can be competitive vs. directly converting Microsoft's USD list. We share live numbers in your quote.

Annual commitment (paid monthly) is typically 15-20% cheaper than month-to-month. If your user count is stable, annual is better. We usually recommend a 3-month monthly plan during migration from another platform, then a switch to annual once user counts settle.

Microsoft 365 CSP pricing is subject to GST (currently 18% on software services). Our invoices break GST out separately so GST-registered customers can claim full input-tax credit (ITC).

Yes — new users can be added at any time during an annual term. They are billed pro-rata from their start date. Reducing seats mid-year requires waiting until the annual renewal (or paying an early-termination fee on some plans).

E5 is significantly stronger. It bundles Defender for Endpoint P2 (full EDR), Defender for Identity, Defender for Cloud Apps, ~50 MB/day of Sentinel ingestion, and Entra ID P2 (PIM + risk-based Conditional Access). For organisations subject to RBI / SEBI CSCRF / DPDPA evidence requirements, the bundled toolset typically costs less than buying these as standalone licences. We model both options in your quote.

Microsoft 365 Copilot is the generative-AI assistant inside Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams. It needs a Microsoft 365 Business Standard/Premium or E3/E5 base licence, plus the Copilot add-on (or upgrade to E7, which bundles it). We share current INR Copilot pricing in your quote.

Mailbox migration from Exchange / Google Workspace / Zimbra / Zoho to Exchange Online; OneDrive migration from Google Drive / Dropbox; SharePoint structure setup; Teams provisioning. Quoted transparently in the same proposal as the licences — not as a surprise post-signature change order.
