CEO, Yotta
Yotta x CloudStack Advantage:
Scalable, India-First Cloud
Tailored for Sovereignty, Flexibility, Affordability and
Innovation

2. India Needs Its Own Cloud – Now More Than Ever
o India’s digital economy to reach $1 trillion by 2030
(MeitY, 2024)
o Driven by DPI: ONDC, UPI, DigiLocker, Bhashini
o Every sector is migrating core workloads to cloud
Data Sovereignty Is Mandatory
o MeitY, RBI, CERT-IN mandates require Indian cloud
hosting
o Global hyperscalers face compliance gaps
Fit India's Reality, Not One-Size-Fits-All
o Legacy & modern apps need flexible cloud env.
o Hybrid & Multi-Hypervisor Support - KVM,
VMware, and bare metal are key for phased
adoption
o Enterprise-Grade Control with Open APIs, cost
visibility, and infrastructure control
Hyperscaler Dependency Is a Risk
o 3-5 players control over 70% of India’s cloud market
o Outages, vendor lock-in, cross-border data flow
concerns
o Global hyperscalers often fail to meet jurisdictional,
cultural, and cost realities of India
Digital Economy on the Rise
