Search giant Google on Wednesday announced two new initiatives for the enterprises in India. For the growing start-up community, Google said it would offer $20,000 each in free credits for ‘Google Cloud Services’ to 1,000 startups in India over the next one year.

The criteria includes that the startup should not have raised funding of more than $5 million, less than $500,000 in annual revenue and not received previous cloud platforms credits.

This will help startups in India who are held back by a lack of computing to power, to build, deploy and scale the next big innovation on the web, added the company.

We are committed to partner next generation companies and enterprises as a trusted provider of affordable, collaborative and easy to use productivity and cloud computing tools to help them succeed,” said Amit Singh, President, Google For Work.
