Cloud Computing Innovation in India: A Framework and Roadmap - 2.0

Explores the market opportunities for cloud computing in India. Cloud Computing is a new paradigm in information technology (IT) and IT-enabled services(ITES) that transforms “computing as a resource” to “computing as a service”. It is a disruptive technology with influence pervading across all aspects of a modern economy. While this has the potential of leapfrogging the economy of emerging markets like India, the adoption and deployment in such countries poses a unique set of technological, business, and regulatory challenges. Examines the viability of developing cloud computing markets, applications, and services in India.
