Enterprise software major SAP on Thursday announced to invest Rs 500 crore in India to offer customers a multi-cloud choice.
With one of the largest and most diverse business-to-business cloud portfolios, SAP India is a leading cloud company that is aggressively working toward addressing local customer demands.

The software solutions major last year launched SAP Commerce Cloud and S/4 HANA Cloud on their India data center to help Indian enterprises meet end-to-end customer demands, make commerce frictionless while ensuring compliance with the Personal Data Protection Bill.
“SAP’s commitment to supporting India’s growth vision remains a top priority, and we are determined to achieve this with deeper collaboration with our customers, ecosystem, and the government,” said Scott Russell, President, SAP Asia Pacific Japan.
Underscoring its commitment, SAP will make available its multiple cloud solutions in Indian data centers.
“Our investment in India is toward accelerating the nation’s digital agenda and our customers’ transformation in the cloud,” Russell added.
SAP said it is prepared to respond to local market requirements and help enterprises harness their data faster to become future-ready.
