BFSI segment to grow at a noteworthy pace.
- The digital revolution has most influenced the BFSI (banking and financial services) segment in industries allowing cost-effective earnings. The augmented penetration of cell phones and fast internet across the region has stimulated people to choose digital banking, which has also led toward incorporating powerful CRM and cloud tools to store and examine data, which is anticipated to augment market growth.

With the constant change in consumer demands, banks have been forced to customize their product offerings according to their demands. Secondly, as consumers embrace a mobile lifestyle and socialize on digital platforms, they expect banks to connect with them on the same platforms.
- Furthermore, Beijing fintech companies are trying to improve financial activities, such as paying, insuring, or lending to businesses and customers, using technology.

Banks must integrate business processes with advanced analytical capabilities, continuously refining processes, services, and products in real time. Thus, banks increasingly rely on the cloud's power to achieve their objectives and manage the current market challenges.
- The hybrid cloud is expected to command significant demand due to the sensitive nature of the data handled by BFSI enterprises.
