As digital transformation highlights the importance of data protection in India, data sovereignty has become essential for businesses to secure digital assets and meet local regulations. In a world where data security, privacy, and regulatory compliance are top priorities, sovereign cloud solutions have emerged as vital for safeguarding digital operations.
Civo is addressing these needs by launching the Civo India Sovereign Cloud. Purpose-built for Indian businesses, this solution aligns with local regulations, keeps data within the country, and supports India’s digital transformation journey.
”At Civo, we understand that sovereignty and compliance are more than just checkboxes—they are the foundation of trust. Our India Sovereign Cloud is designed to empower businesses with secure, reliable cloud infrastructure, ensuring that their data remains protected and within Indian jurisdiction. This launch is about giving India’s developers and enterprises the control and peace of mind they deserve in today’s digital age.” - Kunal Kushwaha, Civo CTO
The motivation behind Civo’s Indian Sovereign Cloud
India stands at the forefront of a digital revolution. By 2047, the country is projected to become a $26 trillion economy, driven by a young, tech-savvy population. Yet, as organizations embrace digital transformation, they face an intricate balancing act between innovation, compliance, and security.
At Civo, we recognized the opportunity to not just enter India but to invest deeply in its digital future. With an INR 200 crore commitment, we’re expanding our footprint to empower Indian developers, startups, and enterprises alike. This investment supports the launch of the Civo India region in Mumbai, enabling us to deliver low-latency, high-performance cloud infrastructure tailored to the needs of Indian businesses.

India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act 2023) underscores the need for businesses to secure sensitive data within Indian jurisdiction. For companies handling regulated, highly confidential data, an India-specific cloud solution is a game-changer, offering full control over data location, compliance, and security.
