Why Google Cloud hasn't picked up yet in India
Live MintNew Delhi: Indian enterprises, small and medium businesses and startups are looking to embrace intelligent, scalable, agile and fast Cloud on their digital journey and global players like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft and Google have ramped up efforts to woo customers by offering cheaper services with local data storage. Although Cloud computing with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning capabilities have brought in new players, the market is more or less dominated by AWS with its wide array of services and Microsoft Azure as Indian businesses shift their strategies from "Cloud first" to a "Cloud only". When businesses are looking to adopt multi-Cloud approach where they are not dependent on one vendor for their Cloud needs, the Google Cloud Platform has somehow left behind and has struggled to sell its services to enterprises in India as effectively as AWS and Microsoft have done. Google Cloud Platform revenue was included in "other" revenue category that reported revenue of $5.45 billion for the quarter.
