With customer-centricity as its main focus, Serverwala always aims to provide prompt solutions to the customers’ and clients’ needs. Serverwala focuses on resolving one of the most prevalent issues people have to deal with, which is not acquiring web hosting services and facilities on time.
With the technological boom, the number of Internet users is increasing, and so are their demands. The team of experts at Serverwala ensures immediate deployment of services and an instant provisioning model, which differentiates them from other players in the market.
Being a one-stop platform in the web hosting industry which meets the necessities of infrastructure, technology, and consultancy, they are able to meet all their clients’ needs.
The team remains on their front foot to easily resolve any customer issue, providing a seamless integration of cloud computing services and meeting all their hosting and service requirements.
Founding a company and rising it to the heights of success are two very different things. Serverwala boasts a robust customer base of more than 7k and counting across the globe, including the renowned government sectors as well.
Mr Akshay credits the Serverwala team for attaining such success in a short span of time. He shares, “unlike MNCs, our team members are not bound to a respective department; they are multi-skilled and highly adaptable and work in sync to ultimately make sure the client’s needs are met on time.”
This facilitated Serverwala to create higher employment in every aspect. Further, the company had a turnover of 5 Crore in the FY 2020 - 2021 and 12 Crore in the FY 2021 - 2022.
Aiming to offer the best services and support to clients, the team at Serverwala Cloud Data Centers is working towards its mission to provide the best solution to its clients with Flexibility, Scalability, and Affordability.
The company’s vision is the instant deployment of servers to improve clients’ experience with Serverwala. They wish to keep increasing their efficiency in the days to come by reducing their deployment time to 30 sec for a cloud server, 30 minutes for VPS/Dedicated and 3-4 hours for a Colocation Server.
Empowering diverse businesses globally and readily accommodating the necessities of clients, Serverwala has reached greater heights. Throughout their journey, one thing that remained consistent for them has been their worthwhile and dedicated core values of
Highly steadfast teamwork
Never stop learning. Never stop adopting new technologies
Always doing more than just what satisfies
No such thing as a status quo
Towards a marathon, not a sprint
Constructing our business sustainably with loyal clients and a credible team
Straightforward and independent
Levelheadedness & generosity
Being bolder and moving quickly
Integrity throughout the business
The maximum level of transparency
Building a business from the ground up is not an easy feat, full of challenges and setbacks, and Serverwala is no exception. Bootstrapping a business with no outside investments is an accomplishment in itself for Akshay Saini; however, the journey was anything but easy. He shares,
“With our approach of always moving forward without a halt taking bold steps to attain milestones one after the other, challenges have always been there for us. With the help of our strong core team, we have managed to fight and overcome each of those challenges. We have learned from the obstacles and come out victorious in every situation.”
The pandemic was something so unexpected that nobody was prepared to go through it. It left a devastating impact not just on human lives but plummeted the business industry, disrupting the majority of business verticals.
However, the cloud computing industry turned out to be an exception and boomed fervently during the pandemic, with the rising demands for web hosting services and facilities. The boom was majorly fuelled by the major shift towards everything digital, bringing as many things possible online.
Being amid the technological reformation happening during the pandemic, Serverwala was ensuring the strategical employment of technical tools and interpersonal skills for delivering the services and products in demand at the quickest pace possible.
Accommodating all clients that came their way and being available around the clock even when the pandemic was going on established Serverwala as a trusted partner for businesses, and they are still going strong.
Even today, when there is a prompt requirement or any emergency related to web hosting services, Serverwala is the go-to spot for many businesses.
Although the concept of remote working has existed for some decades, it wasn’t until the pandemic hit the world that leaders were forced to act quickly to facilitate remote working.
The pandemic served as a reminder that human and machine collaboration must be accelerated to support individuals in adopting a more digital way of working.
Delving deep into the growth mindset and embracing the concept of ‘learning intelligence’ aided the growth of Mr Akshay as a leader. He shares,
“I am always on my toes to improve my capacity to make wiser decisions, seek assistance, pick up knowledge from others, and employ their experiences and skills. I always tell my team that we must aggressively solicit and unbiasedly assess data and suggestions from peers and colleagues in other organisations and those from their own.”
With the technological revolution, the industry will be undergoing tremendous changes in the coming future. The major trends benefitting the cloud computing industry will be
The decline in traditional brick-and-mortar data centers and the occurrence of large service providers from where people will prefer to rent servers.
Rise of AI as AI can do many things for data centre facilities, such as temperature (heating/cooling system) management, ventilation, security monitoring, fire hazard mitigation, and Data Security.
Implementation of strategies by the owners for eliminating carbon from their data centers.
More and more website owners are switching to offshore hosting to attain increased secrecy and protection.
Varied businesses are shifting to cloud hosting from traditional hosting.
Establishing itself as a trustworthy service provider, Serverwala, in the near future, will be advancing towards OTT services, Automation sustainability, and Edge computing while contributing to a much higher employment rate.
Being a client-oriented business, the company will be focusing on moving its clients to AWS with utmost reliability; the shift, however, will not be instant.
The Serverwala team will first align customers with the technology free of cost to understand how the system works and realise its worth, and then pay for the same consciously.
Advising young entrepreneurs, Mr Akshay shares,
"Before starting on your entrepreneurial journey, first recognise the gap in the market where you can add value. Always work by keeping in mind the bigger picture and pick the right people to work with.”
