Ramanathan

SOFTWARE ENGINEER & SOLUTIONS ARCHITECT · AZURE & .NET · CREATOR OF AZURECOSTINDIA.COM

Hi, I'm Ramanathan — the architect behind AzureCostIndia.com. I'm a Software Engineer and Solutions Architect with 20+ years of experience designing, building, and costing enterprise systems, delivering digital-transformation initiatives across BFSI, Healthcare, Retail, Manufacturing, and Industrial Automation.

Azure & .NET, for two decades

Most of that work has been on the Microsoft stack: architecting .NET applications and running them on Microsoft Azure — sizing VMs, choosing regions and storage redundancy, and making the reserved-instance-vs-pay-as-you-go call that actually moves a cloud bill. That's the exact judgment AzureCostIndia puts in your hands: real India-region Azure pricing, in rupees, without the USD-first guesswork.

I've spent enough time in front of budget owners to know that a number only helps if it holds up — priced for the right region, the right SKU, and the right commitment term. So this tool is built the way I'd cost a workload myself: sourced from Microsoft's own Retail Prices API, region-accurate, and honest about what's an estimate.

Why I built AzureCostIndia.com

Indian teams budgeting Azure shouldn't have to reverse-engineer a USD calculator and second-guess which region's rate applies. I wanted a fast, no-signup tool that gives a real ₹/month figure for Central, South, and West India — with reserved-instance savings shown alongside — so the budget conversation starts from a number you can trust.

Work with me

If you want a specific Azure setup reviewed — right-sizing, the reserved-instance call, and a report a budget owner will accept — that's the one paid thing I offer: a fixed-scope architecture & cost review.

Want your setup reviewed by the architect who built this?

20+ years of Azure & .NET architecture. A full cost + reserved-instance review, delivered as a report.
