Microsoft Azure Cloud Hovers Over India

Microsoft recently added 3 data centers in India beefing up its cloud coverage. The data centers are in Chennai(South), Pune (Central) and Mumbai(West). The operation is still not full scale and according to Microsoft,

"The India regions are available to volume licensing customers and partners with a local enrollment in India. The India regions will open to direct online Azure subscriptions in 2016."

It appears this is what Satya Nadella said about this,

"Last year, our cloud business in India grew over 100 percent. Buoyed by that success we have now decided to offer cloud services from local data centres. This will help us make global infrastructure and make that available to local data centres. Microsoft's locally available cloud services will open opportunities for banking, financial services, and insurance companies, state-owned enterprises and government departments."

This is a good opportunity to Start ups.
