  • Oracle India doubled cloud and AI business in 2025 through multi-cloud partnerships
  • Oracle launched services on Azure, GCP, and plans AWS launch in 2026
  • Healthcare, BFSI, and hi-tech sectors drove high double-digit SaaS growth

Oracle India doubled its cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) business in 2025 by rolling out services with the data centres of major hyperscalers including Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), benefiting from the multi-billion-dollar investments of the global technology giants.

In 2025, Oracle launched its services on two data centres of Microsoft Azure across Central and Southern part of India and one with GCP in Mumbai, while another one with Amazon Web Services (AWS) is set to be launched in 2026.

Separately, Oracle has two data centres of its own in Mumbai and Hyderabad.

According to Kapil Makhija, Vice President, Technology Cloud, Oracle India, the multi-cloud approach reduces latency for customers who are switching between workloads on Oracle and its cloud partners.

“We are seeing a hockey stick growth. In the last two years, cloud business has doubled and the momentum continues in India. That's a very significant growth, and the good part is our customers are actually and partners are seeing great value into this,” Makhija said during a media briefing on the first day of Oracle AI World Tour in Mumbai on February 9.

He added, “This is a huge investment we have done in the country… We are going to launch more data centres in this calendar year.”

Oracle through its partnered services is focussing on providing flexibility to customers to use AI solution wherever they want. Customers shift to on-prem, if they want to do AI within their environment.

India driving more investments

All the three hyperscalers including AWS, Azure and GCP had announced significant data centre and AI investments in India recently. AWS is expanding cloud infrastructure in India with a planned investment of $12.7 billion by 2030.

In October 2025, Google announced a five-year investment plan of $15 billion to build its largest AI data center hub in Visakhapatnam. Microsoft in December said it will be investing $17.5 billion investment in India between 2026 and 2029 to boost AI infrastructure, cloud capabilities, and workforce skills.

Moreover, the data centre investments will see further push with the Indian government’s tax holiday now getting extended until 2047.

Oracle India business updates

As of H1 financial year 2026 (June to December period for Oracle), the company's SaaS business saw high double digit growth in India driven by the uptick in healthcare, BFSI and hi-tech verticals.

“From a health care perspective, we already dominate the industry with all the leading players like Apollo, Fortis, Narayana to name a few. With the new wave, every month we are adding one health care customer,” said Shailesh Singla, vice president, Cloud Applications, Oracle India.

Recently in the healthcare space, Oracle added Bajaj Group, Hinduja Group and Care Hospital as customers.

In banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) space, the technology giant is adding two customers every month seeing rising demand for applications and tech services. Newly added customers include Motilal Oswal and RBL Bank.

Within Hi-tech, the company added Tech Mahindra as a customer. “We have always been very strong on the service-centric side,” Singla said.

Oracle is also seeing strong growth in Agentic AI solutions, the company has built 600 AI agents, growing from 50 agents last year.
