Indian indigenous cloud computing firm AceCloud lately announced to offer GenAI models of DeepSeek to businesses across India. The development now positions the company as the first Indian sovereign cloud provider to deliver the AI technology of DeepSeek. It simultaneously has ensured that data residency is to remain firmly within the borders of India.
India has become an increasingly important player in the AI space with the global rise of artificial intelligence. The partnership of AceCloud and Chinese AI platform DeepSeek aims to offer scalable AI solution to businesses while keeping their data secure as well as compliant with India’s stringent data protection regulations.
The introduction of DeepSeek GenAI models on AceCloud platform includes more than six different AI models and all of which promise to provide businesses with intuitive chat interfaces, real-time monitoring as well as full data privacy controls. The offering is unique as AceCloud guarantees that data will never leave Indian soil and this is an important feature amid growing concerns about data security and especially with international players like DeepSeek that is coming from regions with different data protection standards.
The partnership follows a recent rise in the popularity of DeepSeek. The AI model R1 of the company recently overtook ChatGPT as the top free app on Apple’s App Store. It is a strong signal of a shift in AI dominance from the U.S. to China. The cost-efficient platform of DeepSeek is important to understand here as it developed the chatbot tool with just $6 million in investment.
Some critics raise concerns about the Chinese origins of DeepSeek and potential risks regarding data security and privacy, AceCloud has assured that customers data will remain within India’s legal framework.
The partnering may mark the beginning of a new era in cloud computing for Indian businesses. The potential for growth in India’s AI ecosystem is enormous with more than 7 billion parameters available in DeepSeek’s models.
