NEW DELHI, INDIA | NOVEMBER 5, 2026: As businesses increasingly depend on cloud infrastructure to power their operations, managing cloud expenditure, strengthening security and improving technology performance have become critical priorities. Addressing these needs, CloudFirst Technology®, an India-based multi-cloud solutions company and Google Cloud Premier Partner, has announced the launch of its Diwali Cloud Dhamaka campaign, offering festive discounts of up to 55% on cloud migration, managed services and cloud cost optimisation, along with a complimentary cloud audit for businesses.
Founded in 2018 by entrepreneur Ashish Srivastava, CloudFirst Technology® has established itself as a growing multi-cloud technology solutions provider, serving customers across India, the United States, Australia and other international markets. The company has built its business without external equity investment, following a bootstrapped growth model driven by customer trust, business performance and reinvestment.
In 2026, the company received recognition among the Leading SMEs of India 2026 under Dun & Bradstreet India’s Business Enterprises of Tomorrow initiative, marking an important milestone in its growth journey.
Making Enterprise-Grade Cloud Technology Accessible to Every Business
Cloud technology has become an essential part of modern business operations. However, many organisations continue to face challenges such as rising infrastructure costs, outdated systems, security vulnerabilities and inefficient resource utilisation. Smaller and growing businesses, in particular, often struggle to access enterprise-grade technology solutions and expertise.
CloudFirst Technology® was established to bridge this gap by making enterprise-grade cloud technology, cybersecurity and digital innovation accessible to businesses of every size.
Rather than focusing on a single stage of the technology journey, the company provides an integrated approach, supporting organisations from cloud migration and infrastructure modernisation to ongoing management, security, optimisation and digital transformation.
Its mission is to help businesses operate with technology infrastructure that is leaner, faster and safer.
Comprehensive Multi-Cloud Technology Solutions Across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud
CloudFirst Technology® delivers solutions across three leading cloud platforms: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.
Its portfolio covers five major technology areas:
1. Cloud Migration and Modernisation
The company helps organisations transition their existing infrastructure to cloud environments with a structured migration approach. It also focuses on modernising legacy infrastructure to improve operational efficiency, scalability and technology performance.
2. Managed Cloud Services
CloudFirst provides managed services designed to maintain infrastructure reliability, performance and availability. Its services include round-the-clock monitoring, performance management and technical support, enabling internal business teams to concentrate on their core operations rather than managing servers and infrastructure.
3. Cybersecurity
The company offers cybersecurity solutions, including automated backups and security configurations, designed to help businesses protect critical information, strengthen infrastructure security and maintain business continuity.
4. Artificial Intelligence and Automation
CloudFirst is expanding its focus on intelligent, research-led AI and automation solutions to support organisations in their next phase of digital transformation.
5. Digital Transformation
Through end-to-end technology strategy and implementation support, the company helps growing enterprises identify, adopt and integrate technology solutions aligned with their business objectives.
Together, these capabilities position CloudFirst as a technology partner supporting businesses throughout their cloud and digital transformation journeys.
Reinforce360™: Helping Businesses Identify and Reduce Cloud Spending Waste
Cloud expenditure has become one of the most persistent challenges in modern IT budgeting. Businesses often pay for cloud resources that are underutilised, inefficiently allocated or no longer required.
According to an estimate cited in Flexera’s 2026 State of the Cloud Report, approximately 22% of IaaS and PaaS cloud spending is wasted, highlighting the growing need for better financial visibility and cloud resource management.
To address this challenge, CloudFirst Technology® has developed Reinforce360™, its CloudOps and FinOps platform, designed to bring cloud engineering and finance teams onto a common platform for monitoring, managing and controlling cloud expenditure.
The platform offers several capabilities:
Multi-Cloud Visibility: Provides a consolidated view of AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud environments through a single dashboard.
Integrated CloudOps and FinOps: Brings engineering and finance teams together, helping them work with shared cloud expenditure information and make more informed decisions.
Visibility into Cloud Waste: Helps organisations identify where cloud expenditure is being wasted across their cloud environments, supporting improved budget control and cost optimisation.
Global Business Support: With teams in Dubai, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States, Reinforce360™ is designed to support businesses operating across international markets.
Through Reinforce360™, CloudFirst aims to help organisations move beyond simply monitoring cloud bills towards actively understanding, managing and optimising their cloud investments.

From a One-Bedroom Apartment in Delhi to Building a Technology Company: The Journey of Ashish Srivastava
Behind CloudFirst Technology® is the entrepreneurial journey of its founder, Ashish Srivastava, whose professional journey began with an unexpected decision in 2005.
After leaving Kanpur for New Delhi, Ashish worked as a .NET developer for approximately one year. During this period, he attended an interview for a position offering a monthly salary of ₹12,000. Expecting a higher opportunity, he politely declined the offer.
However, before he left, the company owner offered him an independent freelance project.
Ashish completed the assignment within two to three days and earned ₹8,000. That experience led him to consider a different career path.
He began asking himself a question that would eventually shape his entrepreneurial journey:
“If I can earn ₹8,000 by delivering one project in three days, why can’t I build something of my own?”
With that thought, he established Gonna Solutions from a modest one-bedroom apartment in Delhi, without an investor, mentor or established customer base.
Through persistence, continuous learning and project delivery, the company gradually secured larger assignments, including technology projects for Indian government organisations. These included the automation of a government organisation’s photography division.
As cloud technology began transforming the business landscape, Ashish identified an opportunity to help organisations adopt and manage cloud infrastructure more effectively.
In 2018, he founded CloudFirst Technology Private Limited, marking the beginning of the company’s dedicated journey in multi-cloud technology solutions.
Today, Ashish is an active member of the Business Council for Innovation and Technology. He has also participated in an interactive session with the Hon’ble President of India, Smt. Droupadi Murmu, in Bratislava, Slovakia.
His entrepreneurial philosophy continues to centre on four principles: continuous learning, taking ownership, delivering results and never stopping the process of building.
