Recent news in focus - an Indian company moving its cloud infrastructure from azure cloud to Indian built own cloud version. Even though they have used azure cloud since 2017 till 2024, suddenly woke up because of policy violations in linked in social media by Microsoft. So all we need is freedom movement for speech, so if Microsoft (a) linked in community re-post the message with an apology, will this online war come to an end.

Answer is No.

I see it as a PR Stunt.

Starting from Prime Minister of our country to all big tech companies ceo/cto in India are still on Linked In, Twitter and social media platforms like YouTube and WhatsApp lifestyle for everyday needs. None in India never thought about Indian IT products except few successful entrepreneurs like Zoho Sridhar Vembu sir and Freshworks Grish sir who make all countries to look back to India by their web based or saas based innovations. 

Now that Indian It company wants to move cloud infrastructure to Indian based cloud infrastructure within a short time. Noticeably a hint left by the ceo, all who wants to move from azure cloud services permanently then you are welcome for a year long plan. Means after a year, let’s pay to this Indian new cloud innovation. Instead give a forever free plan like freshworks back in 2016 or zoho since 2005 till now.
