Home  :  About Us

From Dotcom Era to Quantum Computing.

We didn't arrive at the frontier overnight. We earned our way here.

Hostin Services Private Limited was founded in 1999, in the earliest days of India's internet. As technology shifted, so did we — Internet Portal, Online Ad Services, Web Application Development, Mobile VAS, hosting and data centre services, followed by cloud. The cloud business unit was established in 2012, and the Cloud.in brand launched in 2016. Twenty-seven years of operating real workloads, for real customers, with real consequences when things go wrong, is the foundation everything else rests on.

That history matters because it makes us operators, not just advisers. We've run the night shifts, owned the incidents, and carried the accountability. It's why customers trust us with the workloads they can't afford to get wrong.

Leadership

The person behind Cloud.in.

Rahul S Kurkure

Founder & CEO, Cloud.in

Rahul founded Hostin Services Private Limited in 1999 and has led the company through every major shift in enterprise technology — from India's early Internet and mobile VAS era, through Hosting and data centre services, to establishing its cloud business in 2012 and launching the Cloud.in brand in 2016. Today, he is focused on the next frontiers of technology: AI, cybersecurity, and quantum computing.

A self-made, first-generation entrepreneur, Rahul has spent over 27 years building a company that operates the workloads it advises on, rather than simply reselling technology.

His conviction is simple and runs through everything Cloud.in does: cut the waste in a customer's cloud bill, and turn those savings into the budget for what's next. It's a founder's instinct for value, applied at enterprise scale — and the reason customers across BFSI, fintech, media and edtech trust Cloud.in with infrastructure they can't afford to get wrong.

"Success is not built on shortcuts. It is built on long-term thinking, customer obsession, competence, trust, and relentless execution."

What we do

Four practices, one accountable team.

Cloud, AI, security and quantum — brought together under a single accountable team, standing on infrastructure we operate ourselves.

Part of something larger.

Cloud.in is the flagship technology business of Hostin Services Private Limited, a family-held group spanning infrastructure, software, education technology and more. Being privately held and self-funded means we answer to our customers and our standards — not to outside pressure for short-term numbers.

How we work

Directness over polish. Outcomes over activity. We tell customers what we actually think, we put our name behind what we deliver, and we keep our customers' names confidential — the discretion we show their business is the discretion we'll show yours.
