Indian customers response to offerings from cloud vendors

How have Indian customers responded to cloud services from vendors such as Amazon, SalesForce.com, Google and Microsoft?

Cloud is a logical place to cut cost and Indian customers are alert to that. I know of a captive center, of a large international business, in Chennai which recently adopted Amazon offerings and greatly benefited from capex savings in these recessionary times. Given that captive centers are usually behind in accessing latest technologies, I expect other ISVs to be making good use of these services as well. There has been a positive response to MS-Azure beta from ISVs. Mid-cap service vendors in Pune, Bangalore and other cities are offering service solutions to their customers on MS Azure. They have started building capabilities, around most of these and other successful cloud offerings, recognizing the growing interest in this space and plan big investments in next 3 to 6 months.
