08 Aug 2025 CW Team

With this launch, AECO (architecture, engineering, construction, and operations) customers can now select India as their primary data storage location for Autodesk Docs, BIM Collaborate, and BIM Collaborate Pro. The offering ensures enterprise-grade data security, privacy, and compliance with regional requirements.

“India is at a pivotal moment in its digital transformation journey, where the convergence of infrastructure growth and data-driven innovation is reshaping industries. As companies look to accelerate this transformation, prioritizing data regionalization is becoming a strategic imperative, enabling trust, transparency, and seamless collaboration. The newly introduced India-based regional storage offering will empower businesses and public institutions to harness the full potential of cloud-powered design and construction, while delivering international standards of data integrity and performance,” said Kamolika Peres Gupta, Vice President, India and SAARC, Autodesk.

She added, “India is a strategic growth market for Autodesk and we are launching focused initiatives to offer tailored design and make solutions suiting the Indian realities. The expansion of the regional storage offering to India is another step in the same direction that reiterates our commitment for India by supporting India’s vision for a resilient, tech-enabled infrastructure while empowering customers to lead with confidence in a digital-first environment.”

The India offering is supported by Amazon Web Services (AWS). “AWS is proud to deepen our decades-long strategic partnership with Autodesk through their expansion of regional data offerings, enabling customers to store their data closer to where they operate,” said Colin Lazier, Vice President, Databases, AWS.

India now joins the US, EU, UK, Germany, Japan, Canada, and Australia in Autodesk’s global regional storage network. In June 2025, Autodesk also introduced India-specific BIM solutions to support the country’s sustainable infrastructure goals.
