As the Indian cloud market continues to grow, businesses are increasingly looking for ways to manage their cloud costs effectively while ensuring data sovereignty. At Civo, we've seen firsthand how our cloud and AI platform can help companies achieve these goals. In this blog, we'll explore how three of our customers in India - KubeNine, BeezLabs, and OpsMx - have leveraged Civo to improve their cloud costs and data sovereignty.
Simplified cloud infrastructure and reduced costs
The benefits of Civo's managed cloud platform are evident in the success stories of our Indian customers. By simplifying their cloud infrastructure, they've been able to free up resources and focus on what matters most - driving innovation and growth. For KubeNine, this meant a significant reduction in the time and effort required to create and manage their infrastructure, allowing them to accelerate their development cycles.
“Civo has been a game-changer for us, reducing the time it takes to create Kubernetes clusters from minutes to seconds! This has significantly accelerated our development cycles and allowed our team to focus on delivering business value. The web-based workloads deployed in the Mumbai region provide lower latency and faster load times for us as compared to Digital Ocean.” - Vikas Yadav, Founder of KubeNine
BeezLabs also benefited from Civo's managed cloud platform. By leveraging Civo's transparent and predictable pricing model, they were able to run multiple AI and data workloads at a fraction of the cost, without worrying about hidden overheads or unpredictable spikes. This enabled them to focus on delivering innovative solutions to their customers, while also improving their bottom line.
“On hyperscalers, even small experimental workloads racked up bills quickly due to hidden overheads and complex pricing. With Civo's transparent model, we've been able to run multiple AI and data workloads at a fraction of the cost—without worrying about unpredictable spikes.” - Karthikeyan Venkatesan, CEO and CTO of BeezLabs
For OpsMx, Civo's managed cloud platform was a key enabler of their Secure Software Delivery (SSD) solutions. With Civo, they were able to create isolated testing environments and validate features quickly, which was critical for their business.
Improving data sovereignty and compliance
As data breaches and regulatory non-compliance continue to make headlines, data sovereignty has become a top priority for Indian businesses. The need for local data storage is clear, with over 60% of Indian businesses prioritizing it and 63% of respondents stating that it's "extremely important" for their data to remain within Indian borders.
Civo's managed cloud platform has helped our customers address this challenge head-on. By providing a sovereign solution that ensures compliance with Indian regulations, such as the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP) 2023 and the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) data localization norms, Civo has empowered our customers to retain control over their critical data.
For OpsMx, this meant being able to host certain workloads locally in India, ensuring compliance with data requirements and regulatory norms.
“Civo's blazing-fast cluster startup time, intuitive CLI, and clean UI were instantly appealing. But more than that, it gave us predictability in pricing, quick experimentation loops, and the ability to get a working SSD environment up and running within minutes. Their India region was another plus, allowing us to host certain workloads locally and comply with data requirements where needed.” - Sumeet Kulkarni, Engineering Manager, OpsMx
BeezLabs also benefited from Civo's India cloud presence, which enabled them to expand their customer base in regulated industries like engineering services and financial compliance. By hosting their workloads locally, they were able to meet the stringent data sovereignty requirements of these industries. This is particularly important, as a significant compliance gap persists, with over 70% of Indian enterprises still storing sensitive data on foreign cloud servers.

With Civo's managed cloud platform, our customers have been able to tap into a new era of innovation and efficiency. For BeezLabs, this has meant being able to scale its microservices with ease, leveraging GitOps to streamline its workflows, and managing complex event-driven architectures with confidence. As a result, they've been able to accelerate their automation rollouts and reduce operational risks.
"In short, where hyperscalers made us feel like a tiny fish in a massive pond, Civo gives us the speed, transparency, and personal support that align with how we operate as a lean but enterprise-focused company.” - Karthikeyan Venkatesan, CEO and CTO of BeezLabs
Similarly, KubeNine has seen a significant shift in its development workflow, with engineers now able to focus on delivering business value rather than getting bogged down in infrastructure complexities. By freeing up resources and simplifying their cloud infrastructure, our customers are able to drive growth, improve performance, and stay ahead of the curve.
