Governments worldwide must address competition concerns in the cloud computing market to foster a competitive landscape that enables a multi-cloud approach. Dominated by a few major players, the market faces challenges such as vendor lock-in and limited interoperability, hindering innovation and competition. Antitrust intervention and regulatory measures are essential to ensure fair competition and promote the development of open, interoperable cloud infrastructure.
In India, the adoption of digital public infrastructure (DPI) initiatives, like the Open Cloud Compute project, aims to decentralize cloud computing and enhance interoperability through open standards. These efforts, coupled with public investments in digital infrastructure, are crucial for fostering innovation and providing equitable access to cloud com putting resources, essential for the country’s participation in the global AI revolution.
