India’s Growing Appetite for Private Cloud and AI Security | Synology’s Take
With cyber threats on the rise and many businesses feeling overwhelmed by public cloud options, Synology sees a big opportunity in India. Once known mainly for making network-attached storage (NAS) devices for small businesses and consumers, this Taiwanese company is now stepping up as a full-service provider. They’re offering everything from powerful storage and AI-driven surveillance to private cloud productivity tools designed specifically for Indian companies.

Michael Chang, Synology’s Regional Sales Manager for APAC and MEA, shared with Digit that India is one of the fastest-growing markets for them. Compared to the US and Europe, there’s still a lot of room to grow here, so they’re investing more in local events, marketing, and education to meet businesses’ needs.
Why Private Cloud?
Many Indian companies are starting to rethink putting all their data on public cloud services like Google Drive or Microsoft 365. Chang explained that not everyone feels comfortable having sensitive files floating around in someone else’s cloud. That’s where Synology’s private cloud solutions come in.
They offer tools like Synology Drive—a private file server—along with Synology Office and MailPlus, which are secure, AI-enhanced alternatives to mainstream productivity apps. Plus, their chat and video call platforms, Synology Chat and Synology Meet, run entirely on a company’s own servers, meaning better security and control.
Smarter Surveillance That Works With What You Already Have
India is rapidly adopting smart surveillance technologies for cities, campuses, and industries. But replacing existing cameras is expensive, and many businesses aren’t ready for that.
Synology’s NAS devices can act as video recorders that work with most existing camera setups, so companies don’t have to rip and replace their systems. For those ready to upgrade, Synology also sells AI-powered cameras that can recognize faces, count people, read license plates, and send instant alerts when something seems off.
