With the current market of USD 160-192 Million in CY11, Public Cloud in India is at a very nascent state of the market and may not have hit the inflection point yet, indicating significant future potential.

We will not be surprised, if Cloud takes up more than 20% of the total Indian IT spend in the next couple of years. This would also mean that there will be a significant demand in the job market for Cloud Computing related skills.”
“Additionally, the huge Global and Domestic opportunity that exists in the Cloud space, has excited a lot of Indian start-ups and infact 20% of the total Public Cloud market in India is currently being addressed by Indian companies. Further to this, we have also witnessed that categories like SaaS and Cloud Computing, are being preferred for VC investments in India”, he added.
