Cloudlaya’s Strategic Shift: Embracing Enterprise Customers and Scaled Startups

Dear Valued Customers and Partners,

As part of our ongoing commitment to delivering unparalleled service and expertise, we at Cloudlaya have made a significant strategic decision. Moving forward, we will be focusing our services exclusively on enterprise customers and scaled startups. This pivot reflects our dedication to providing the highest level of support and value to those who need it the most.

The Rationale Behind Our Decision

Over the years, we have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, from small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to large-scale enterprises. Through this journey, we have realized that our strengths and resources are best aligned with the needs of larger organizations and rapidly scaling startups. This insight has led us to the difficult, yet necessary, decision to exit the SMB and early-stage startup market.

Why This Change?

  1. Focused Expertise: We believe that by concentrating our efforts on a specific segment of the market, we can deliver a more tailored, effective, and high-quality service.
  2. Resource Allocation: Serving companies of all sizes simultaneously stretched our resources thin, impeding our ability to offer the best possible support.
  3. Strategic Growth: This shift allows us to align our strategic goals with our operational capabilities, ensuring sustainable growth and innovation.

Criteria for Continued and New Partnerships

We feel confident in delivering best-in-class service to customers who meet any of the following criteria:

  1. Annual Cloud Spending: Over ₹1 Lakh ($1,300 USD) per year.
  2. Employee Count: More than 50 employees.
  3. Equity Investment: Received or planning to receive equity investment from accelerators, angel investors, or venture capitalists.
  4. Public Listing or Referral: Publicly listed companies or those referred by an existing client.

A Farewell to Our SMB and Early-Stage Startup Clients

This has been an incredibly difficult decision for the team and our founder. We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the SMBs and early-stage startups that have been with us on this journey. While we are no longer able to support this segment, we encourage you to explore the many other service providers in the market that can cater to your unique business needs.

We firmly believe that small businesses deserve a partner who can be wholly focused on their success, and our transition will ensure we offer our enterprise and scaled startup clients the undivided attention they deserve.

Looking Ahead

As we embark on this new chapter, we remain committed to fostering innovation and excellence in cloud services. We look forward to continuing to serve our enterprise and scaled startup clients with the dedication and expertise that Cloudlaya is known for.

Thank you for your understanding and support as we make this transition. We are excited about the future and the opportunities it holds for our clients and our team.

See you soon! When growth finds you, good luck with your business.

Warm regards,

The Cloudlaya Team
