In a bid to take on the likes of Amazon and Microsoft, Google on Friday announced that it will open a new Google Cloud Region, in Mumbai. Expected to go live in 2017, the India cloud region is aimed at offering Google Cloud Platform services to Indian developers and enterprise customers.

The local region will help make Google Cloud Platform services even faster for Indian customers, enhancing differentiators that are already motivating companies to choose Google as their partner.

With more than 1 billion end users, Google Cloud has gained significant traction in India and across the world.

Brian Stevens, Vice-President of Google Cloud, said:“By expanding to new regions, we deliver higher performance to customers. In fact, our recent expansion in Oregon resulted in up to 80 per cent improvement in latency for customers.”

Google Cloud is a portfolio of products, technologies, and services that let customers operate in a digital world.

It takes the infrastructure, machine learning and networking services used to power Google services and makes them available to businesses and developers to build applications and data analysis. As India’s start-up community continues to grow, Cloud Platform provides the full stack of services to build, test and deploy their applications.
