New Delhi: In a significant move to bolster data security and regulatory compliance, Google has announced the introduction of data localisation options for AI innovators in India. This new feature is designed to cater specifically to enterprises in the public sector and financial services, where the handling of sensitive data is crucial, according to Bikram Bedi, Managing Director of Google Cloud India.
With growing concerns around data privacy, particularly in sectors like banking, insurance, and government services, the data localisation option will allow organizations to store and process their data within India’s borders, adhering to local regulations. This ensures greater control over sensitive information and reduces the risk of data breaches.
Bedi highlighted that this development will empower enterprises to build and deploy AI solutions with confidence, without compromising on data security or compliance. By providing a robust infrastructure, Google aims to accelerate AI-driven innovation in industries that manage critical and sensitive data. This move is expected to drive AI adoption and strengthen India’s position as a hub for technology-driven growth.
