It’s already estimated that the Indian datacentre industry will cross $8 billion by 2026 (Arizton Advisory & Intelligence) along with its cloud computing market to reach a staggering $7.1 billion by 2022 (Nasscom).Taking heed from these massive paradigm shifts and post-receiving phenomenal success in ASEAN, Tradepass has announced its Indian edition of Datacentre & Cloud Conference i.e., Datacentre and Cloud Infrastructure Summit (DCCI) 2021: India, scheduled to take place virtually.

The conference will also host over 1000 tech professionals from 300+ plus leading organizations including the senior most C-suite executives and the key decision makers to share crucial insights and the latest intelligence from the industry.

Some of the speakers from the summit include Golok Kumar Simli, Chief of Technology, Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India; CK Prasad, Head – Telecom & IT, Railways; Laxmikumar Reddy Sammeta, VP – Architect, JPMorgan Chase & Co.; Ananth Subramanian, Executive Vice President and Head IT, Kotak Mahindra Asset Management Co Ltd; Shiva Kumar RV, Deputy Chief of Technology – Infrastructure, National Payments Corporation of India; Rachit Mohan, India Head – Data Centre Advisory, JLL; Deepak Bhosale, General Manager – IT, Asian Paints and many others.

The Indian government on the other hand has gone all out in ensuring the industry’s exponential growth with its data sovereignty laws that mandate all domestic and international companies to store certain data types within the country’s geographical limits. Moreover, the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology’s policy of providing ‘Infrastructure status’ to the Datacentre sector (just like Railways, Roadways, and Power) has sealed the deal for many keen investors from the country and overseas.
