Starting a business is a rollercoaster. You’re building your product, chasing customers, pitching to investors, and making a hundred decisions every day. And in the middle of all this, you also have to figure out where and how to host your application, website, or platform.
For many startups, the natural choice is AWS — it’s big, popular, and promises everything under the sun. But here’s what happens next:
The Cloud Struggles Startups Know Too Well
1. The “Budget Surprise” Problem
AWS pricing feels harmless at first — just a few rupees per hour for compute, a little for storage. But as you grow, add users, run more tests, or launch a marketing campaign, the bill shoots up. And because AWS pricing is so complex, it’s easy to miss where the money is going until it’s too late.
2. Complexity That Eats Your Time
AWS offers hundreds of services and options, which is great if you have a full-time DevOps team — but most startups don’t. That means either hiring expensive cloud specialists or having your developers spend valuable time navigating documentation instead of building your product.
3. Latency That Hurts the User Experience
If your customers are in India but your data is hosted in Singapore, the US, or Europe, there’s going to be lag. It may not seem like much, but for users, even a few extra seconds can make your platform feel slow — especially during live video calls, e-learning, or e-commerce checkouts.
4. Support That’s… Not Exactly Supportive
When something goes wrong, startups need quick answers from real humans who understand their business. With large global providers, you often end up with ticket systems, automated replies, and long wait times.
How Gati Cloud Fixes These Problems for Startups
We created Gati Cloud with one goal: to give startups a fast, affordable, and human-friendly cloud platform they can actually enjoy using.
✅ Transparent Pricing You Can Trust
We keep it simple — no hidden charges, no fine print. You’ll always know exactly what you’re paying for, so you can budget with confidence. Many startups that switch to Gati Cloud save 30–40% compared to AWS, freeing up cash for marketing, hiring, or product development.
✅ Simplicity at Its Core
Our dashboard is clean and intuitive — launch your first cloud instance in minutes, scale it when you grow, and manage it without a steep learning curve. You don’t need a team of certified cloud experts — we’ve made it simple enough for founders and small tech teams to handle.
✅ India-Based Data Centers for Lightning-Fast Performance
Your customers in India deserve speed. With our local data centers, latency drops, performance improves, and your platform feels snappy and reliable — whether it’s a shopping cart checkout or a live webinar.
✅ 24/7 Human Support That Actually Helps
Our support team is made up of real people, not bots or endless ticket systems. We’re here around the clock to solve problems, answer questions, and make sure you can focus on growing your business instead of troubleshooting servers.
✅ Pay-As-You-Grow Flexibility
You don’t need to pay for resources you aren’t using. Start small, and when your user base grows, scale up instantly with just a few clicks. If you hit a quiet season, scale down just as easily.
