India To Go Crazy With Cloud Sooner
India, which is growing faster than before in Information Technology (IT) along with its population, is the Cloud's next target, and Google's next target too. Now, the things are changing a bit in India, favouring tech start-ups. There are already success stories like SnapDeal, Naukri, Monster Jobs and way2sms, which were good enough to inspire the young talents to have their own start-ups.
But, we can't get over excited too. As India's Internet business is still at the budding stage, although there were around 120 million internet users in the country, most of them access internet from either office or cafe. But, in the coming years, it is expected that there must be a boom in internet usage in India and by the year of 2015, there must be 300 million to 400 million internet users, due to lowering in the laptop, #-Link-Snipped-#and smartphone prices.

With the increased number of internet users, the needs would increase, essentially would support a lot of start-ups. Already a lot of big IT companies having their in-house IT infrastructure, there weren't much of the cloud's impact in India, as there lack of the expertise in cloud, in India.
The new start-ups mostly couldn't afford to build their very own in-house IT infrastructure, and here comes the need for cloud computing in India. It is easy to use cloud services, currently Google is providing a lot of cloud based apps to businesses, which needs just an internet connection to let their employees work efficiently.
Cloud reduces the investment needed by a start-up, to buy softwares and essential hardware to run those softwares, by providing the businesses light weight web applications. It is also easy for them to download their data anytime and anywhere, without worrying much about the backup and stuffs.
Google is so aware of this situation in India. Eventually, by conducting apps roadshow and giving discounts for signing up the Google apps, Google is entering into an estimated $7 billion market of cloud computing in 2015, as reported in #-Link-Snipped-#. So far, Google got some valuable customers like Indiamart, Indian Youth Congress, Neelkamal, and Punj Lloyd.
India is far behind the Silicon Valley in the cloud (may in internet business too), and I think it's the better time to catch up with them.
