Autodesk allows local storage option for Indian customers in an attempt to boost data security, recoverability, trust
The new arrangement would boost data safety, privacy and recoverability and also support regulatory compliance, said the California-based firm that offers 3D design, engineering and entertainment software.
With India now available as a primary project data storage location, businesses and public sector organisations, especially in regulated sectors such as government, infrastructure, and utilities can satisfy customer requirements and preferences while benefiting from enterprise-grade security, privacy and recoverability, said the company.
Autodesk said its decision to expand regional offerings would also reinforce its commitment to India's digital transformation. The design firm also said a recent survey indicated that Indian organisations (37%) expressed lack of trust in tools due to issues like data security and the local offering would address this concern by unlocking access to secure cloud collaboration tools with regional storage.
With this, AECO (architecture, engineering, construction and operations) customers of Autodesk would be able to choose India as their primary project data storage region when using Autodesk Docs, Autodesk BIM Collaborate, and Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro.
Kamolika Peres Gupta, Vice President, India and SAARC, Autodesk said, 'India is at a pivotal moment in its digital transformation journey, where the convergence of infrastructure growth and data-driven innovation is reshaping industries. As companies look to accelerate this transformation, prioritising data regionalisation is becoming a strategic imperative, enabling trust, transparency, and seamless collaboration.''
The newly introduced India-based regional storage offering would empower businesses and public institutions to harness the full potential of cloud-powered design and construction, while delivering international standards of data integrity and performance, she said.
'India is a strategic growth market for Autodesk and we are launching focused initiatives to offer tailored design and make solutions suiting the Indian realities,'' Ms. Gupta added.

India faces tough choices amid US tariff pressure. What's ahead for New Delhi?
NEW DELHI: India faces an ultimatum from the United States with major political and economic ramifications both at home and abroad: end purchases of Russian oil or face painful tariffs. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, leader of the world's most populous nation and its fifth-biggest economy, must make some difficult decisions. US President Donald Trump has given longstanding ally India, one of the world's largest crude oil importers, three weeks to find alternative suppliers. Levies of 25 percent already in place will double to 50 percent if India doesn't strike a deal. For Trump, the August 27 deadline is a bid to strip Moscow of a key source of revenue for its military offensive in Ukraine. "It is a geopolitical ambush with a 21-day fuse", said Syed Akbaruddin, a former Indian diplomat to the United Nations, writing in the Times of India newspaper. How has India responded? New Delhi called Washington's move "unfair, unjustified and unreasonable", while Modi has appeared defiant. He has not spoken directly about Trump but said on Thursday "India will never compromise" on the interests of its farmers. Agriculture employs vast numbers of people in India and has been a key sticking point in trade negotiations. It all seems a far cry from India's early hopes for special tariff treatment after Trump said in February he had found a "special bond" with Modi. "The resilience of US-India relations... is now being tested more than at any other time over the last 20 years," said Michael Kugelman, from the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada.
