Google Cloud, which is in stiff competition with cloud service companies such as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft’s Azure, said that it is now working to tap into the burgeoning cloud service opportunities in the government sector in India. The platform aims to help government clients have scalable, agile and secure multi-cloud experience, with a special focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities.
Nitin Bawankule, director, Google Cloud, India, reportedly said that the time is ripe for the company to now deeply explore the government sector as various state governments are moving fast on initiatives such as smart cities, and have plans to move their workloads to on-premise storage, as well as the public cloud.
