New Delhi, Aug. 25 -- Ahmedabad-headquartered Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and digital connectivity platform Ishan Technologies has introduced Saksham Cloud, a sovereign cloud platform aimed at providing Indian businesses with secure and compliance-focused digital infrastructure.
The platform is hosted across the company's Rated-3 data centres in Mumbai and Chennai and has received empanelment from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY). It also meets several international standards, including ISO 27001, PCI DSS, SOC2, and HIPAA, making it one of the few cloud services in the country with a strong compliance framework.
Saksham Cloud is already being adopted by organisations in the banking, financial services, IT, and manufacturing sectors, where data security and reliability are critical. The company said the platform enables faster application performance, lower latency, and improved scalability, allowing businesses to bring products to market more quickly and deliver stronger customer experiences.
Pinkesh Kotecha, Chairman and Managing Director of Ishan Technologies, said the that service reflects the growing need for sovereign cloud solutions as data localisation and regulatory compliance gain importance. "With regulatory frameworks and data localisation shaping India's digital transformation, enterprises need a sovereign cloud platform that balances compliance with performance. Saksham Cloud has been designed as India's cloud, empowering businesses to scale confidently in a secure, India-first environment," he said.
In June, Ishan Technologies announced that it has been empanelled under the Government of India's IndiaAI Mission to provide artificial intelligence (AI) compute infrastructure. The Ahmedabad-based company will make available more than 1,000 high-performance graphics processing units (GPUs), designed specifically for AI workloads.
With this inclusion, Ishan Technologies becomes one of seven providers selected under the initiative, alongside firms such as Yotta Data Services and E2E Networks. The empanelment is part of efforts to establish a sovereign, distributed AI infrastructure that can deliver on-demand compute power for startups, academic researchers, and public sector developers.
Launched in 2024 with an outlay of Rs.10,000 crore, the IndiaAI Mission has already secured commitments of over 34,000 GPUs, underlining its goal of strengthening India's AI ecosystem.
