Pricing and engagement models
Indian MSP pricing for managed cloud services typically follows three patterns. A fixed monthly retainer ranges from INR 25,000 for very small environments to INR 25 lakh per month for enterprise multi cloud estates. Consumption based pricing adds 8 to 15 percent on top of hyperscaler spend in exchange for resale, billing in INR, and managed services. Hybrid models combine a fixed retainer for operations with a variable layer for project work.

Frequently asked questions
Can you manage workloads across all three hyperscalers?
Yes. We hold certifications and run production workloads on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, often inside the same customer estate. Our tooling and runbooks are designed for multi cloud, not platform locked.
How do you handle DPDP Act 2023 obligations?
We map personal data flows, design consent and rights management, harden encryption with hyperscaler KMS services, and prepare breach response runbooks aligned to CERT-In six hour reporting requirements.
Do you offer INR billing?
Yes. We can act as the partner of record on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud and consolidate everything onto a single INR invoice with GST.
What is the typical onboarding period?
Four to eight weeks for most managed cloud engagements. Multi cloud landing zones, regulated workloads and large migrations extend onboarding into three months.
How is Opsio different from a system integrator?
We are an engineering led MSP, not a staff augmentation firm. Pods stay with you, response times are measured in minutes, and our SLAs include real credit clauses.
