Moving to the cloud in a way that actually fixes your cost and reliability problems, instead of just relocating them to someone else's servers.
"Lift and shift" gets sold as the fast, low-risk way to move to the cloud. Often it's neither. The same monolithic architecture, the same inefficient database queries, and the same scaling bottlenecks just get redeployed on rented infrastructure — and now they cost more every month while still breaking the same way they always did, except the outage report has a different vendor's logo on it.
We treat cloud migration as an architecture decision, not a hosting change. Before we move anything, we look at what's actually driving cost and fragility in the current setup — and decide what should be re-architected for the cloud versus what can move as-is. Moving fast matters less than moving the right things the right way.
What's Included
Infrastructure and cost audit
A breakdown of your current architecture's resource usage, scaling behavior, and cost drivers — so we know what actually needs to change versus what can migrate as-is.
Cloud migration plan
A phased plan specifying what moves when, which components get re-architected for cloud-native scaling, and what the target infrastructure looks like.
Migrated and configured cloud environment
Your application running on the target cloud platform, with infrastructure-as-code configuration, monitoring, and security settings documented and in place.
Cost and performance validation report
A post-migration report comparing actual cloud costs and performance against the pre-migration baseline, so the business case for the move is verified, not assumed.
Our Approach
Audit the cost and architecture, not just the server list.
We look at what's actually driving your current infrastructure costs and reliability issues before deciding what should move as-is versus what needs re-architecting for the cloud.
Right-size the target, not the sales pitch.
We choose cloud services and instance sizing based on your real usage patterns, not the most expensive tier a vendor would prefer to sell you. Over-provisioned cloud infrastructure is a common way migrations quietly increase cost instead of reducing it.
Migrate in phases with a rollback path.
We move workloads in defined phases with validation at each step and a documented way back, instead of a single cutover where a mistake means full downtime with no fallback.
Frequently Asked Questions
Sometimes, for components that are stable, not a major cost driver, and not worth re-architecting right now. We'll tell you when that's the honest answer instead of pushing a bigger re-architecture project you don't need. The problem isn't lift-and-shift itself — it's doing it everywhere by default without checking if it's the right call.
We work across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, and we'll recommend based on your existing tooling, team familiarity, and workload requirements — not a reseller relationship. If you already have a provider preference or compliance requirement, we plan around it.
Not automatically — that's the promise that gets broken most often in cloud migrations. Costs go down when the architecture is right-sized and workloads are re-architected where it matters. We validate this with a post-migration cost report against your pre-migration baseline, so you can see the actual number, not a projected one.
A migration for a single mid-complexity application, including re-architecting the highest-risk components, typically runs ₹8-18 lakh over 8-14 weeks. Larger multi-service environments with significant re-architecture run higher and longer. We scope this precisely after the infrastructure audit.
