The platform, which went live on Monday, is deployed with Equinix, the largest digital infrastructure company, as its data centre partner.

As part of its expansion in India, the company has established a new development centre at Infopark Phase 2 in Kochi.

Direct connectivity for multi-cloud environments

ONAM Cloud also provides customers with direct, private, and on-demand connectivity to public cloud and SaaS services, enabling secure multi-cloud environments without routing sensitive traffic over the public internet, including direct connectivity to Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud.

Launched in 2021, the Kochi-headquartered Saints & Masters has set a target for ONAM Cloud to enable 10,000 small and medium enterprises in India over the next three years. The initiative aims to make enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure accessible to small and medium businesses as well as large enterprises.

The launch comes at a time when India’s cloud market is witnessing rapid growth. According to Gartner, end-user spending on public cloud services in

India is projected to increase 28.1 per cent to $17.5 billion in 2026, from $13.7 billion in 2025. Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) is expected to be the fastest-growing segment, with spending projected to rise 40 per cent in 2026, driven in part by growing demand for GPUs and high-performance computing.

Open standards and cloud portability

ONAM Cloud is built on open standards and open-source infrastructure technologies, without dependency on proprietary hypervisor or cloud platform licensing at the infrastructure layer. The architecture is designed to support everything from traditional enterprise workloads to Kubernetes and cloud-native applications, giving customers a transparent and portable foundation with greater freedom over where and how their workloads operate, said Dijeesh Padinharethil, Senior Cloud Architect of ONAM Cloud.
