AWS and Google Cloud are the two most used cloud platforms by Indian businesses and startups in 2026. Both have data centres in Mumbai; both offer startup credit programmes. This comparison helps Indian CTOs and IT managers choose the right cloud platform.
Yes. AWS India operates through AISPL (Amazon Internet Services Private Limited) which issues GST-compliant invoices in INR. You need to sign up via aws.amazon.com/in and complete KYC with your GSTIN.
Both work well. AWS is used by Flipkart (historically), Myntra, and many Indian D2C brands. Google Cloud is used by Nykaa and Dunzo. AWS has slightly better managed database options (RDS, Aurora) for e-commerce. For new Indian e-commerce startups, both are equally viable — choose based on team expertise.
Azure is a strong third option, especially for enterprises using Microsoft 365 and Windows Server workloads. Azure has three India regions (Central, South, West) and the best Active Directory integration. We recommend AWS for general workloads, Google Cloud for data/AI, and Azure for Microsoft-centric enterprises.
