Ready Accountant is one of India’s leading education providers for aspiring Chartered Accountants (CA) and Company Secretaries (CS). They offer both classroom-based and online learning, serving thousands of students across the country. Their platform hosts live video classes, on-demand lectures, study material downloads, and interactive tests — all of which demand a fast, reliable, and scalable hosting infrastructure.

  The AWS bills were becoming increasingly unpredictable. Usage spikes during exam seasons sent costs soaring, cutting into budgets meant for improving courses and student support.

• Latency Issues for Indian Students:
  

  AWS data center were located outside India, causing delays in content delivery. Students experienced buffering during live classes and slower load times for study resources.

• Complex Cloud Management:
  

  The small IT team was spending hours managing AWS configurations and troubleshooting, leaving less time to work on new platform features.
