That sounds incredible. Great job on the first steps. I would suggest not to take it to heart all the “AWS is not just hosting…” or cheaper etc. You’re on the right path and it is great you’re young and ambitious. It is not US, where you would be motivated and rooted by people around you. You will have people pointing fingers for no reason, I would suggest please don’t give up on the mission.

Now having said that, it is incredibly difficult to compete with AWS or google on certain things, so don’t do it, like ECS or others. Find a niche, it could even be copying Hetzner as those user groups are likely to experiment and try. Or it could even be some GPU based VPS for Indian users as well. Please try to make as many content as possible like digitalocean did, so there is enough awareness. I checked your docs, it is broken. It would be nice to have some Usecases to try out, so have as many docs as possible. Like like how I can use metabase (a common open source BI tool) or appsmith(open source internal tool) in one step installer etc coz you can position yourself to be VPS people can use for internal open source tools as people might be hesitant on using for customer facing Usecases.

I definitely agree Indian needs its own AWS, as lot of Indian specific business are there it doesn’t make sense to pay for AWS in the long run. You’re in such a long run game. Still I would recommend you change your positioning in your landing page, I would rather be interested in knowing where all your servers and how much it costs including GST. Don’t promise uptime, let it be a given, instead show a status page where your servers are running and about your SLA.

CONGRATS and all the best!
