Net annual saving for a Mumbai SaaS firm spending USD 38,400 a month on AWS. The review found USD 8,920 a month of immediate waste: idle EBS volumes, unattached Elastic IPs, 11 dormant RDS Aurora clusters, and no Savings Plan coverage on a steady Fargate baseline. After 60 days of remediation and a 1-year no-upfront Compute Savings Plan, the run-rate dropped to USD 26,140 a month. The review took 21 hours.

What is AWS in India and why do most accounts overspend?
AWS in India is Amazon Web Services delivered from the ap-south-1 Mumbai and ap-south-2 Hyderabad regions, billed in US dollars per service with no minimum commitment. Most Indian accounts overspend by 22 to 38 percent because the bill grows faster than anyone reviews it. Idle EBS volumes and unattached Elastic IPs keep charging while nobody is watching. Steady workloads run at on-demand rates with no Savings Plan in place. Storage piles up in S3 with no lifecycle policy. Worst of all, workloads sit in us-east-1 instead of the Mumbai region, paying for cross-region data transfer and adding latency for Indian users.
The fix is rarely a re-architecture. It is housekeeping plus the right commitment. A free review maps every idle resource, every missing Savings Plan, and every misplaced workload, then hands you a written report you can action this week. For the identity and licensing-heavy half of your estate, Microsoft Azure often sits alongside AWS, and Sirius Star runs both under one contract.

Four steps from a read-only role to a remediated bill and a standing quarterly optimisation. Step one is always free.
- Free read-only roleYou create a cross-account IAM role for care@siriusstar.in with AWS-managed Billing and ViewOnlyAccess. No access to your application data.
- 24-hour findings PDFIdle resources, us-east-1 egress, Savings Plan gaps, CloudTrail and IAM posture, and a MeitY DPDP data-residency check.
- Remediationgp2 to gp3, S3 lifecycle, Elastic IP reclamation, dormant cluster cleanup, then a sized Savings Plan commit so you do not over-commit.
- Quarterly optimisationEvery 90 days we re-pull the bill, re-tune Savings Plan coverage, clean new waste, and re-check DPDP posture before it drifts.
Is the AWS in India review for you?
The AWS in India review is a free, read-only cost and security assessment run by Sirius Star Enterprise Technologies for businesses on the ap-south-1 Mumbai region with a meaningful monthly AWS spend.
You are a fit if:
- Monthly AWS bill above USD 5,000
- Workloads still in us-east-1 instead of ap-south-1
- No Savings Plan or Reserved Instance on steady workloads
- S3 storage growing with no lifecycle policy
- One root account with no AWS Organizations structure
- You need a shared-responsibility security check
If you spend under USD 1,500 a month on a single dev account, the savings will not justify a retainer, and we will tell you so in the review.
AWS in India vs Microsoft Azure vs Google Cloud, honest call
AWS wins when your engineers are already fluent in EC2, S3, and Lambda, or when your SaaS product is built on AWS-native primitives. Microsoft Azure wins when your estate is Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and Windows Server heavy, because the identity and licensing integration is tighter and the Enterprise Agreement discounts carry over. Google Cloud wins for data-and-analytics-first teams leaning on BigQuery. All three run Mumbai regions with DPDP-aligned residency. The honest answer is that most Indian estates end up multi-cloud, and the real saving comes from optimising each bill rather than picking a single winner. Sirius Star supports AWS and Azure under one contract and will not push the platform with the bigger margin.
AWS in India FAQ for Indian businesses
- What does AWS cost in India and how is it priced?
- AWS is Amazon Web Services delivered from the ap-south-1 Mumbai and ap-south-2 Hyderabad regions, billed in US dollars per service with no minimum commitment. Compute, storage, and internet data transfer out are the three biggest line items, with egress around 7.50 rupees per GB for the first 10 TB. The two largest cost levers are a Compute Savings Plan, 20 to 30 percent off EC2 and Fargate on a 1-year commit, and Reserved Instances, up to 52 percent off database services on a 3-year commit.
- AWS versus Microsoft Azure, which should an Indian business pick?
- Pick AWS when your team is fluent in the AWS service catalogue or your product is AWS-native. Pick Microsoft Azure when your estate is Microsoft 365 and Windows heavy. Both run Mumbai regions with DPDP-aligned residency. Sirius Star supports both and gives an honest call in the free review.
- Is the AWS Mumbai region (ap-south-1) DPDP compliant for Indian businesses?
- Yes. The Mumbai region keeps data physically inside India, satisfying data-residency expectations under the DPDP Act 2023. AWS carries ISO 27001 and SOC 2 under a shared-responsibility model: AWS secures the infrastructure, you secure configuration, identities, and data. Pair AWS-native controls with Microsoft Defender and Secure Data Guard for the data layer.
- Does Sirius Star manage AWS day-to-day or only consult?
- Both. The free 24-hour review and the one-time remediation are scoped engagements. The managed AWS FinOps retainer is ongoing, with monthly bill optimisation, Savings Plan portfolio management, and a quarterly review included. You can also run AWS plus Microsoft 365 and cloud backup under one Sirius Star contract.
