The funds will be deployed to accelerate Googles efforts to spread connectivity and adopt digital technologies through a mix of equity investments, partnerships, operations, infrastructure and ecosystem investments, Pichai, who is also the chief executive of parent Alphabet Inc., said at the Google for India virtual summit on Monday.

US internet giants, including Google, Facebook and Amazon.com Inc., are investing billions of dollars in India to lay the foundation for future growth in one of the worlds last major relatively untapped internet markets. With just half of Indias billion-plus people having access to the internet, it is an attractive growth market as companies prepare to tap the next 500 million people for services such as video streaming, search, cloud hosting and digital payments.

India is setting global standards in digital payments. Building products for India first has helped us build better products," Pichai said. This is a reflection of our confidence in the future of India and its digital economy."

Google plans to spend the funds to enable affordable internet access to all Indians in their own language and build new products and services that are relevant to Indias unique needs. The company also aims to empower small- and medium-sized businesses in their digital transformation and leverage technology and artificial intelligence for social good, including digital literacy and support for rural economies.

Digital revolution presents an opportunity to build the future of India, said Sanjay Gupta, country manager and vice-president, Google India. With 500 million active internet users in India, our aim is to get to the next 500 million users," Gupta said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he had an extremely fruitful interaction with Pichai.

We spoke on a wide range of subjects, particularly leveraging the power of technology to transform the lives of Indias farmers, youngsters and entrepreneurs," Modi tweeted ahead of the Google event.

In response, Pichai said: We are very optimistic about your vision for Digital India and excited to continue our work towards it."

Sanchit Vir Gogia, chief executive and chief analyst, Greyhound Research, said the investments will help Google go deeper into India.

It will also help them foray into cross-category businesses such as e-commerce and telcos in which they do not have a presence yet. It is likely that a lot of this will be used in tapping the MSME sector, especially the retail and kirana stores," Gogia said. Google is not present in all six categories of the digital platform matrix which we call 6Csconnectivity, community, content, commerce, currency, capitaland this investment could be a strategy to enter these businesses."

Minister of information technology Ravi Shankar Prasad said he sees immense scope" for Google through its application of artificial intelligence in agriculture, weather protection, healthcare and modern education.

Separately, Google said it is partnering with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to digitize classrooms and will be working with CBSE Skill Education and Training by 2020-end to allow nearly one million teachers in 22,000 schools in India deliver blended learning that combines the classroom approach with online learning".

The company will provide its software, including G Suite for Education, Google Classroom and YouTube, to allow such digitization. G Suite for Education includes Googles usual tools, like Google Docs and Sheets. It also includes ways for teachers to give assignments to students and use Google Forms.

It will also provide a $1 million grant to the Kaivalya Education Foundation through the Global Distance Learning Fund to help teachers deliver virtual education to students.

Google is also tying up with public broadcaster Prasar Bharati for an edutainment series for small businesses.

Y Soft announces YSoft SAFEQ Cloud, a New Family of Cloud-Based Print Services - What They Think

It's increasingly looking like the public cloud infrastructure is swallowing large swaths of communications applications and infrastructure. With the public cloud providers growing faster and approaching capital spending (capex) levels that rival, and in some cases surpass, the largest telecommunications providers, there's no reason to think this trend won't continue.

In other words: The cloud's eating everything. And that includes a wide range of applications ranging from consumer applications such as Facebook and Instagram to enterprise applications such as unified communications, enterprise business suites, security, and Internet of Things (IoT).

An analysis by Futuriom of historical capex spending in the last three years puts this mind-boggling growth on full display, with leading public cloud infrastructure players such as Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft growing revenues and capex at an annual pace typically in excess of 30%. To compare, the revenue growth and capex growth of major service providers such as AT&T, Vodafone, or Verizon remains in the single digitsif thatand appears to be trending toward flattish. In some cases, in fact, revenues at some major service providers including AT&T may actually shrink in 2020, based on sequential Q1 results.

Meanwhile the cloud providers spend as much, if not more on capital spending, and seem to be getting more bang for their buck. Just as an example, Amazon is spending about $24 billion on capexwhile it runs arguably the world's largest IT infrastructureand AT&T spends about the same.

It could be a vicious cycle for service providers. If you can't attract new applications and services to grow revenue, it's hard to invest in capex. And if you can't invest in capex, you won't grow new services and applications. As the monster rise of Amazon has shown, capex and infrastructure investments are the lifeblood of the cloud. The trend is likely to accelerate. As 5G comes online and public cloud providers such as Microsoft and Amazon have shown a keen interest in hosting more of the 5G edge infrastructure, the cloud is eating everythingincluding communications services.

RELATED: Raynovich: What are the next great 5G edge apps and will service providers be able to monetize them?

Our Cloud Tracker follows the leading public companies supplying cloud infrastructure services. We carefully analyzed the size and scope of major players and came up with a list of eight market leaders we believe is representative of cloudscale trends. These included Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) Alphabet (Nasdaq: GOOGL) Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN), Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL), Equinix (Nasdaq: EQIX), Facebook (Nasdaq: FB), IBM (NYSE: IBM), and Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT).

A couple of important public vendors, such as Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) and VMware (NYSE: VMW), have reporting cycles that prevent accurate comparisons across traditional calendar quarters and years. We follow the spending patterns of these companies, but the data was difficult to include in our analysis because of the different reporting cycles.

A closer look reveals a few interesting trends:

For major cloud providers, revenues are growing.

Public cloud capex is steadily increasing.

Cash flow from operations of the major cloud providers has generally improved, in some instances dramatically.

Public cloud providers are increasingly taking control of their own infrastructure buildouts, not ceding expansion to telcos.

In other words, the cloud eats everything.

When you drill down into specific companies there are some very interesting findings. For example, Facebook led in nearly all metrics over the past three years. Its capex spending boomed 124% from 2017 to 2019, while revenues increased 74%. The next closest in scale was Google, with 46% revenue growth and 79% capex growth over the three-year period. Microsoft clocked in with a respectable 31% revenue growth and 56% increase in capex. Not bad for a company with annual revenue of $125 billion (2019).

Colocation and cloud are growing in sync, to build out the footprint of the cloud and get services closer to customers. Its no surprise that Alphabet, Amazon, Equinix, and Microsoft increased capex by double digits over the three-year period, given the growth of cloud services for enterprise use during that time. And Facebooks dominance in consumer cloud clearly factored in its soaring investments in infrastructure.

The trend does not show any signs of slowing down, even during a recession. In fact, it's clear that the work from home (WFH) trend will likely provide a boon to cloud servicesespecially those involving enterprise communications. For most public cloud providers we track, revenues in the first quarter of 2020 rose. While large-scale enterprise projects stalled, the rise in remote work rose high enough to maintain the upward trend, as noted in the table below. Of course, there's still much more to play out in 2020so we'll be tracking the forthcoming Q2 numbers closely.

It's clear to me that we've reached a critical point in the evolution of both consumer and enterprises services hosted on cloud infrastructure. The cloud players are now in the dominant position to deliver services going forward. And the coming wave of 5G and edge infrastructure is likely to accelerate that trend.
