In her new role, Ghose will be responsible for Microsoft’s overall operations and businesses in India. Talking about the scopes of companies in India’s technology landscape, she said, “In India, cloud will be at the heart of the digital innovation journey. As per IDC, the Indian public cloud ecosystem is expected to rise dramatically, reaching $9.5 billion by 2025 at 21.5 per cent growth.”
She added that Indian startups today offer a robust ecosystem that can serve India’s enterprises and governments, coupled with the country’s developers to “digital fuel growth in banking, manufacturing, and retail organisations.”
