Indian businesses have been known to favour low-cost, practical solutions. The cloud model perfectly fits this mindset. The idea of �pay-per-use� and of converting large capital costs into incremental costs is bound to appeal to the CIOs and CFOs alike, ensuring rapid adoption.
Keep in mind the growing SMB market, which does not want to lag behind on technology in spite of limited resources, and you can see why India is being touted by some as �cloud computing�s next battlefield�.

Thus, we should definitely expect to see a trend of smaller, leaner organizations becoming the �early adopters�, taking the jump into the cloud, creating innovative solutions, tearing-down the barriers to adoption, increasing awareness and causing the larger and more conservative users to join, thereby bridging the �chasm� and taking cloud mainstream.
