Samir Jhaveri, MD, XcellHost Cloud Services, shared insights on his journey, challenges, AI and Cloud technology

How has your journey been so far? When did you enter the Cloud solutions arena?
I never went to college. I started this company in 1999, but I've been in the IT field since 1991. That’s how our journey began. In 1996, when the internet emerged, we started providing internet connectivity and consulting services. By 1999, I had hired my first employee.
Today, we have been in business for 25 years, serving 10,000 MSMEs customers across 50+ countries. We offer a full suite of Cloud and security services. Our approach is not product-centric.Instead, we focus on solutions. We identify customers'problems and recommend the right service or solution rather than simply selling technology.
Currently, we have a team of 150 people based in Mumbai and Bangalore and we are expanding globally.
How has ExcellHost performed over the last few years?
During and after COVID-19, our business nearly doubled as organizations rapidly moved to the cloud. It was a boom period for us. We worked 18-hour days, as companies were adopting Cloud desktops, file-sharing solutions and AI-driven services.
Now, with the rise of AI, we are focusing on GPU servers, which are essential for AI applications. Security is another rapidly growing sector due to increasing ransomware attacks and hacking attempts. While Cloud adoption was the key trend in 2019, today AI and security are the main drivers of growth.
