To some extent, till the desired level of maturity and confidence, enterprises like those from BFSI would be not very keen to adopt clouds, as Subramanian maintains.

As Ben Pring, research vice president for Gartner, shares in a recent forecast around cloud computing, “The IT market trends for the next couple of years remain highly uncertain. While short-term growth is expected to be inhibited, the potentially lower cost of cloud services is attractive to customers and will drive growth for these offerings.”

From what we can conclude now is that while that growth for many of these cloud services will be relatively modest through the next two years, as analyst eyes like those of Gartner see, it is expected to accelerate as these approaches prove themselves and then benefit from increased spending levels as macroeconomic conditions improve.

Till then the Indian sky is yet a blank canvas.
