Microsoft has decided to invest Rs 14 billion in building cloud data centres in India. The data centres will be established at Pune, Mumbai and Chennai. Microsoft is also in talks with telecom companies to connect large enterprises directly to their data centres, which have more reliable bandwidth.
The company has estimated the potential of the Indian cloud market at $2 trillion and is planning to target customers specifically in the banking and telecom industries. India is among the fastest growing cloud markets globally for Microsoft, with 2,000 customer additions each month.
