Frequently asked questions
Two reasons: (1) Where is your data actually stored? R2 stores data 'globally' but doesn't guarantee an India region — for Indian data residency compliance (BFSI, government, healthcare), R2 doesn't qualify. AIC stores everything in Mumbai. (2) Currency + billing — R2 is USD; AIC is INR + GST + UPI, simpler for Indian accounting.
