Google to provide data localisation option to AI innovators in India

With Google’s Gemini 1.5 flash large language model (LLM), Indian organisations across all sectors, including the public sector, will now have the option to both store their data at rest and conduct machine learning processing entirely within India. This move comes amid growing demand for local data processing from Indian enterprises.

This option will be particularly helpful for enterprises in the public sector and financial services, due to the sensitive nature of the data they handle, said Bikram Bedi, Vice President and country managing director, Google Cloud India.
