World's 90 per cent data has been generated in last 1,000 days. This part Indian data localization policy will lead to large growth of data in India as most of the overseas companies operating in banking," Pinnapureddy said.
The company already has 1 million square feet datacenters, which includes two tier-4 facility in Mumbai, two tier-4 in Hyderabad, one tier-4 in Noida and a tier-3 datacenter in Chennai.
