Aug 17: Siliconops.ai announced the launch of siliconcloud.in, a sovereign cloud platform built for India’s regulated enterprises. Timed to India’s Independence Day, the launch reflects a larger shift in how organisations are thinking about digital independence and not just where their data is stored, but who has control over it.
Built in partnership with Nutanix and delivered and governed from data centres in India, siliconcloud.in is designed for organisations across banking and financial services, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, government and manufacturing, where data residency, regulatory compliance and business continuity are critical requirements.
The platform provides enterprise-grade compute, backup and disaster recovery, and managed cloud services, with a roadmap towards relevant compliance and industry certifications. It is designed to help organisations modernise their IT environments while keeping sensitive data within India and under Indian jurisdiction.
Speaking about the launch of Siliconcloud, Shyam Gaidhane – CEO, Siliconops said
“In the age of AI, data has become one of an enterprise’s most valuable assets. The conversation can no longer stop at where data resides; it must also address who controls it. Launching India’s sovereign cloud around the country’s 80th Independence Day is a symbolic reminder that sovereignty matters to enterprises just as it does to nations. Data in India is localisation; data under your control is sovereignty. That belief is at the heart of siliconcloud.in.”
The launch comes at a time when Indian enterprises are adopting artificial intelligence and cloud technologies at an unprecedented pace.
Siliconcloud.in is positioned as a foundation for organisations that want to embrace cloud and AI without compromising control over their data. By providing an in-country cloud environment, the platform aims to give regulated enterprises greater visibility, governance and operational resilience as they modernise their technology infrastructure.
Bappaditya Sarkar, Chief Technology Officer, Siliconops, said
“Building a cloud is only one part of the challenge. Running it to the standards expected by a bank, hospital or other regulated organisation is where the real complexity lies. Siliconcloud.in has been engineered with that reality in mind. With a focus on availability, scalability, security and auditability, as well as the compliance evidence that organisations will need over the long term. We are working towards MeitY empanelment, ISO and SOC compliance, along with sector-specific requirements for regulated industries.”
For Siliconops.ai, the launch marks the next chapter in a journey spanning nearly four decades. Founded 38 years ago, the company has evolved from a systems integrator into a technology partner to some of India’s most demanding enterprises, with a strong presence across the country. Siliconcloud.in brings this experience in building and managing enterprise technology environments to the rapidly evolving sovereign cloud ecosystem.
