It’s Microsft vs Google in cloud services for India

Firstpost.technology,

With more and more large Indian corporations turning to cloud services, technology giants Microsoft and Google have started competing each other to grab a share of the market.

According to this report in the Economic Times, the market is expected to grow by $15-18 billion by 2020, and both companies want a larger slice of the pie.

Google is already fairly active in the space, having already sold cloud solutions to Flipkart, Indiamart and the State Bank of India.
