Why Indian Enterprises Are Moving Away from AWS and GCP
A growing number of Indian enterprises are exploring sovereign cloud alternatives. Here is what is driving the shift and what it means for your infrastructure.
The Sovereign Cloud Movement in India
India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) and increasing regulatory pressure around data residency are forcing enterprises to re-evaluate their cloud strategy.
The Case for NxtGen Cloud
ScaleItX has partnered with NxtGen — the cloud infrastructure trusted by the Election Commission of India, multiple government ministries, Dell, HP, and over 200 enterprise clients.
Why NxtGen?
Data Sovereignty
All data stored and processed within India, meeting DPDPA and government compliance requirements without complex workarounds.
Performance
NxtGen's tier-3 data centres across India deliver sub-10ms latency for Indian users — something global hyperscalers cannot match without significant premium pricing.
Cost Structure
On average, our clients see 30-40% cost reduction compared to equivalent AWS/GCP configurations, primarily because NxtGen's pricing is not subject to USD exchange rate volatility.
Enterprise Support
24/7 dedicated support with 15-minute SLA — not a ticketing queue.
Migration Reality Check
Cloud migration is not trivial. The organisations that succeed follow a phased approach:
1. Assessment — Catalogue workloads, dependencies, and compliance requirements
2. Pilot — Migrate 1-2 non-critical workloads first
3. Optimisation — Right-size resources before committing
4. Full Migration — Move remaining workloads with rollback plans in place

If you are an Indian enterprise handling citizen data, government contracts, or sensitive financial information — the answer is increasingly yes.
