FACTORS THAT LEAD TO THE GROWTH OF CLOUD IN INDIA

The Indian market landscape has changed tremendously over the last couple of years. With the increasing accessibility of the internet and the services that come with it, businesses are benefitting from an open economy that allows them to navigate the market more freely than ever before. Just as the Internet can be accredited to have broken the barriers that were previously limiting the economy and businesses, so has the Cloud taken on the mantle now.

Talking about the effect of Cloud in the corporate world, Rakesh Soni, Cofounder and CEO of LoginRadius, said, “A corporate ‘no-cloud’ policy is soon to be a thing of the past. Soon a no cloud policy will be as rare as a no internet policy is today in organizations. A few years ago, companies were hesitant towards moving to the cloud, experimenting with smaller applications at first. But in the last few years, it has witnessed a dramatic change. Today, as part of digital transformation, companies are moving most of their IT workload to the cloud.”
