Abstract

Cloud computing represents a significant technological advancement that has reshaped how businesses operate on a global scale. By offering flexible resources, cost efficiency, and advanced technological capabilities, cloud computing has become a cornerstone for digital transformation and innovation. In India, the adoption of cloud technology is rapidly accelerating, providing businesses with new opportunities to enhance operational efficiency, drive growth, and access cutting-edge tools. However, this transition is not without its challenges. Indian businesses face hurdles related to data security, regulatory compliance, and infrastructure readiness, which can impact their ability to fully leverage cloud solutions. This article provides a comprehensive exploration of both the challenges and opportunities associated with cloud computing in India. It discusses how cloud technology can address business needs, including scalability, cost reduction, and improved collaboration, while also examining the obstacles that may hinder its adoption. By understanding these dynamics, businesses can better navigate the cloud landscape and capitalize on its benefits to achieve sustained success and competitiveness.
