Is CloudPe Right for You?
Choose CloudPe if:
- Your customers, data, and regulators are in India. OVHcloud is built for European infrastructure needs.
- You need GPU infrastructure that runs NVIDIA H200, H100, A100, L4, and RTX Pro 6000 in India, on demand, billed in rupees. OVHcloud has no GPU offering in India.
- Your workloads need proactive monitoring and resolution.
- You need Indian-owned and Indian-governed infrastructure for DPDP, RBI, SEBI, or IRDAI compliance.
- Your infrastructure bills in Euros or dollars. Your business runs in rupees.
Choose OVHcloud if:
- Your primary operations are in Europe and you need distributed infrastructure across European data centres with competitive bare metal pricing.
Why Indian Businesses Choose CloudPe
Purpose-built for India — the infrastructure, compliance, and support that OVHcloud can't match.
5 India Locations vs 1
OVHcloud's single Mumbai DC means users in Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad experience >100ms latency. CloudPe's 5 DCs deliver <5ms nationally.
GPU Compute in India
OVHcloud has no GPU instances in its India DC. CloudPe offers H200, L4, and RTX Pro 6000 GPUs for AI/ML workloads — available in India right now.
Indian Compliance — Built In
OVHcloud is a European cloud and is not RBI-compliant or DPDP-ready. CloudPe is built for Indian regulations — suitable for BFSI, healthcare, and any regulated sector.
INR Billing, No Currency Risk
OVHcloud bills in EUR or USD. CloudPe bills in INR with proper GST invoices. No foreign exchange volatility, no OIDAR GST complications.
What Indian Regulations Actually Require
For Indian businesses, where your data is stored is a legal decision. Here are some compliance requirements you need to follow.
Physical Location vs Governance
The platform should be owned, operated, and legally governed by an Indian corporation subject to Indian law. For Indian businesses under DPDP, RBI, SEBI, or IRDAI, it is not just the matter of where the data sits but also who controls the platform.
DPDP Act 2023
Indian ownership and governance matters under DPDP's accountability framework. A European-operated platform with an India data centre still creates cross-border governance complexity. CloudPe is Indian-owned, Indian-operated, and subject to Indian jurisdiction only.
RBI Compliance
For banks, NBFCs, payment aggregators, and fintechs, Indian regulatory comfort with foreign platform governance is a growing concern regardless of physical data centre location. CloudPe removes that concern by design.
SEBI and IRDAI
Demonstrating vendor accountability and control over data governance on a European-operated platform requires significant documentation. On CloudPe, Indian regulatory alignment is structural, not documented after the fact.
Common Questions
OVHcloud's bare metal pricing is very competitive.
Leapswitch's bare metal is CloudPe's foundation. 1,900+ servers, 20+ years of bare metal operations, on-site engineering teams physically present in every data centre. CloudPe's bare metal pricing starts at $135 per month. For Indian workloads that need bare metal in India, CloudPe offers depth and operational history that OVHcloud's Indian market presence cannot match.
We have been on OVHcloud for years and our setup is stable.
Stability is worth protecting and CloudPe's migration approach is designed around exactly that. Your OVHcloud environment stays live while a parallel environment is built and validated on CloudPe. Cutover happens only when your team confirms everything is working. For stable, well-understood workloads, migration is typically the most straightforward part of the process.
How is CloudPe better than OVHcloud in terms of support?
Adequate is different from good. CloudPe's 120+ L2/L3 engineers are available 24/7 with an average resolution time of under 2 hours. They know your environment and stay on the problem. The difference between adequate support and genuinely responsive support is most visible at 2am when something breaks in production.
We don't have any problem with the currency and billing in Euros.
It may not have been a problem yet. As your business scales and infrastructure costs grow, the unpredictability of foreign currency billing becomes a finance and forecasting problem. CloudPe bills in INR, fixed monthly, with no egress fees and no conversion risk. Your infrastructure cost is a number your finance team can plan around.
CloudPe vs OVHcloud — Common Questions
OVHcloud has only one India DC in Mumbai, meaning users outside Mumbai face >100ms latency. It is not RBI or DPDP-compliant, has no GPU in India, and bills in EUR/USD — all significant drawbacks for Indian businesses.
Yes. CloudPe offers free migration assistance. We handle VM snapshots, S3 data migration, DNS cutover, and post-migration monitoring at no additional cost.
Not for Indian workloads when you factor in currency conversion, GST-on-OIDAR (18% tax on foreign cloud services), and egress fees. CloudPe's INR pricing is typically 20–35% lower in real-rupee terms.
Yes. CloudPe offers bare metal servers in India with NVMe storage, configurable to your workload. Unlike OVHcloud's India DC, CloudPe's bare metal is paired with GPU options and a local support team.
