To compete in and dominate the world of Cloud Computing, Google yesterday said it would open its first 'Cloud Region' in India by the end of this year.

Google-the Silicon Valley Giant which is competing with other big players of the market (Amazon and Microsoft), said that it would open the first 'Cloud Region' in Mumbai, Maharashtra. It would definitely help it to provide computing technologies to other tech companies.

Emerging fast growing market

“India continues to be a fast-

growing large market for us,”

said Mohit Pande, country

manager-India, Google Cloud.

“We have Cloud re-

gions across the world, this

is our first region that would

come up in India,” said Mr.

Pande at the Google Cloud

Summit held in Bengaluru.

“We are making these in-

vestments based on the feed-

back we received from the

customers who asked us to

establish a Cloud Region

here in India,” said Ash Wil-

lis, head of partners and alli-

ances for Japan and Asia-Pa-

cific, Google Cloud.

Google also said that several Indian enterprises had chosen Google Cloud as their technology platform.

Some of the enterprises on the list are Ashok Leyland, Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation and courier services company DTDC.

Also the home grown Indian messaging platform - Hike, runs its entire messaging application and network, as

well as all front-end traffic,

on Google Cloud. Hike users

share more than a billion

messages each day and 40 billion messages a month.

Mission - Internet for every Indian

“Our mission is very

simple, Internet for every In-

dian,” said Google’s vice-

president for South-East Asia

and India Rajan Anandan,

Chowk or a web developer

working from home, access

to the Internet is the founda-

tion,” he said.
