Ushodaya Enterprises, the food manufacturing division of the esteemed Ramoji Group, has recently made a significant undisclosed investment in FlexiCloud Internet, a cloud hosting solutions provider based in Kochi. This strategic move aims to bolster FlexiCloud’s operations and propel its growth trajectory.

Thanks to this injection of capital, FlexiCloud is poised to enhance its market reach, elevate its customer service standards, and fuel its research and development endeavors. According to Binu Mathew, the CFO of FlexiCloud, this investment marks a pivotal moment, empowering the company to deliver state-of-the-art solutions that are both innovative and adaptable to evolving needs.

Established back in 2017 by Vinod Chacko, FlexiCloud stands out as a pioneering Platform as a Service (PaaS) startup. Their mission? To empower businesses in navigating the digital landscape with ease through their cloud solutions. With a focus on customization, strategic deployment, and comprehensive application management, FlexiCloud caters to the specific needs of enterprise clients.

Their impressive clientele includes renowned names like Harvard Medical School, Isuzu, and Times of India. In the competitive PaaS arena, FlexiCloud faces off against notable players such as Backup Guru, Fynd, and Palmtree Infotech.

Since its establishment back in 1980, Ushodaya Enterprises has been busy crafting a delightful array of products like pickles, masalas, culinary pastes, and instant mixes, all proudly bearing the trademark Priya Foods.

Now, with a fresh infusion of investment, courtesy of the Raoji Group, our aim is to spread our wings further into the beautiful landscapes of Kerala. “We’re absolutely thrilled to make our grand entrance into Kerala through this strategic investment,” shared Karthik Vidyasagar, Ushodaya Enterprises’ chief investment advisor. “FlexiCloud’s commitment to innovation and putting customers first resonates perfectly with our own values.”

In addition to making strides in the Kerala market through this investment, the company is eyeing a foray into the burgeoning realm of cloud computing. A recent study by SPER market research forecasts that India’s cloud computing market will surge to $35.15 billion by 2033, boasting a solid compound annual growth rate of 18.54%.

It’s worth noting that this sector is largely dominated by tech titans like Google and Amazon, both of which have been intensifying their footprint in India. For example, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has pledged a hefty $12.7 billion investment in the country by 2030, earmarked for bolstering its cloud infrastructure.

In June of last year, the Centre began working on a scheme to incentivize Indian companies, particularly MSMEs, to develop new cloud solutions in order to support the growth of domestic entities. This initiative aims to foster innovation and create opportunities for homegrown businesses in the technology sector.
