Intelics Cloud, a domestic cloud and data services provider, has introduced its Sovereign Cloud Framework designed explicitly to support Indian enterprises in building compliant, secure, and predictable cloud environments. The framework provides a clear methodology for organizations transitioning from global cloud platforms to India-hosted, governance-led cloud infrastructure. This shift is crucial for enterprises seeking stronger visibility and control over data flows, cost structures, and compliance requirements, particularly as India advances toward its broader digital economy objectives.
The Sovereign Cloud Framework is structured to help enterprises align with strict data residency mandates and emerging regulatory expectations, including the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act 2023. It is built around MEITY-compliant platforms and offers multi-hybrid deployment options. Crucially, the framework provides pay-as-you-go billing in Indian Rupees (INR), which allows enterprises to eliminate exchange rate risks (FX-linked variability) and provides predictable cost management, a major concern with global cloud providers who typically bill in US dollars.This development reflects the rising demand for cloud services that are explicitly shaped by regulatory, data-residency, and local-economy factors—not just pure cost or performance. By offering a foundation for secure AI adoption and ensuring that AI training data can be processed and managed within domestic boundaries, the framework enhances both national control and security, making it particularly attractive to highly regulated industries like BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance), healthcare, and the public sector.
