The number that matters
₹38 Lakh
Saved every year on one Mumbai BFSI estate after Sirius Star moved a 1.2 Crore-rupee EC2 and RDS footprint onto a three-year Reserved Instance plan with rightsizing and Savings Plans. Steady-state bill cut by about 31 percent. Same workloads, same India region, lower run rate.

What is AWS in India and how does it work?
AWS in India is Amazon Web Services compute, storage, database and networking delivered on demand from the AWS Asia Pacific Mumbai and Hyderabad regions. For Indian businesses it means workloads and data stay inside the country for DPDP-aligned residency, billing is pay-as-you-go in INR, and capacity scales with demand instead of locking capital into hardware. Sirius Star designs the AWS Well-Architected landing zone, migrates on-premise or other-cloud workloads, and then runs day-two operations for AWS in India so your team is not learning the platform on the job.
The decision usually splits three ways: move and run a single workload, hand the whole estate to a managed contract, or keep your own team and bring Sirius Star in only for FinOps cost control. Each option keeps the same India region residency, the same MeitY DPDP-aligned data handling, and the same access to the full Amazon Web Services service catalogue. If your stack is heavy on Microsoft licensing, weigh it against Microsoft Azure first.
What changes when Sirius Star runs it is accountability. One partner owns the migration plan, the security baseline, and the monthly cost review, so there is a single number to answer for and a single team to call when something breaks. Workloads land in the Mumbai or Hyderabad region by default, encryption keys stay under your control through AWS KMS, and every admin action is logged into a DPDP-aligned SIEM. Pricing stays pay-as-you-go in INR with no lock-in beyond the Reserved Instance terms you approve.

Is managed AWS in India right for you?
Managed AWS in India is Amazon Web Services migration, hosting and FinOps operations run by Sirius Star Enterprise Technologies for Indian businesses that want workloads in the Mumbai or Hyderabad region without building an in-house cloud team.
You are the right buyer if:
- On-premise servers or another cloud you want to move
- A rising bill with no FinOps discipline
- DPDP data residency that needs an India region
- No in-house cloud or DevOps bench for day-two
- Data, analytics or born-in-cloud apps that fit AWS
- You want SSO and audit logs in a DPDP-aligned SIEM
If your estate is mostly Windows Server and SQL Server on Microsoft licensing, Azure hybrid benefit may be cheaper. We will tell you so honestly in the review.
AWS, Azure or on-premise, the honest call
AWS wins when you want the broadest service catalogue, the deepest data and analytics tooling, and maximum freedom for born-in-cloud apps. Microsoft Azure usually wins when the estate already runs on Microsoft licensing, because Windows Server and SQL Server hybrid benefit lowers the run rate and Microsoft 365 identity is already in place. On-premise still wins for fixed, predictable workloads where the capex is sunk. Many Indian estates land on a split, with a managed database such as MongoDB Atlas on top. The honest cross-platform call is in the review.
Who is AWS in India a good fit for in India?
AWS in India works best for Indian businesses that already have established workflows around the related platforms, need DPDP-compliant data residency, and want a single accountable partner for deployment plus quarterly tuning. Sirius Star runs the entire lifecycle — scoping, deployment, training, and renewal — from a Navi Mumbai engineering team.
How long does AWS in India deployment take?
A typical AWS in India rollout in India takes 2-6 weeks from purchase order to production cutover, depending on scope. Sirius Star follows a phased plan: scoping call within 8 working hours of enquiry, design review within 5 days, deployment waves, then a 30-day stabilisation window before handing over to your team or our managed retainer.
AWS FAQ for Indian businesses
What is AWS and how does it work for Indian businesses?
It is Amazon Web Services compute, storage, database and networking delivered on demand from the Asia Pacific Mumbai and Hyderabad regions. Sirius Star designs the Well-Architected landing zone, migrates workloads, runs day-two operations, and applies FinOps cost control. Data stays inside India for DPDP-aligned residency and billing is pay-as-you-go in INR. Pair it with cloud backup for recovery.
How does AWS compare with Azure for Indian buyers?
AWS has the broadest service catalogue and the largest market share, which suits born-in-cloud apps and data estates. Microsoft Azure usually wins for estates already heavy on Microsoft licensing, where Windows Server and SQL Server hybrid benefit lowers the bill. Sirius Star runs both and recommends the fit, not the platform.
Does AWS store Indian business data inside India under DPDP?
Yes. AWS runs two India regions, Asia Pacific Mumbai and Asia Pacific Hyderabad, so workloads and data can stay inside the country for DPDP-aligned residency. AWS carries SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 27017 and ISO 27018, and you keep control of encryption keys through AWS KMS. Pair AWS controls with Secure Data Guard for endpoint-side data loss prevention.
How much does managed AWS cost in India?
AWS consumption is pay-as-you-go in INR. Sirius Star managed operations start at ₹45,000 per month for monitoring, patching, backup and security. FinOps cost optimization with Reserved Instances, Savings Plans and rightsizing typically cuts a steady-state bill by around 30 percent. One Mumbai BFSI estate saved ₹38 lakh a year. Resilience can be layered with Acronis Cyber Protect.
