Made in Bharat? Why Indian Startups Still Rely on AWS, Stripe & Slack
India’s startup scene is booming — but beneath the surface, most companies are still running on US infrastructure. In an era of Atmanirbhar Bharat, is it time to rethink our tech foundations?
The Hidden Risk of Building on Borrowed Infrastructure
While Indian startups boast innovation and agility, their tech foundations are overwhelmingly non-Indian:
- AWS & GCP for cloud
- Stripe, PayPal for payments
- Slack, Notion, Zoom for operations
- GitHub, Firebase for development lifecycle
The result? Vulnerability to pricing shocks, regulatory conflict, and vendor lock-in.
As India tightens data localization, foreign billing, and compliance laws, founders must ask:
“Am I building a scalable company, or just assembling blocks I can’t control?”
Why It Still Happens — And Why It Needs to Change
Let’s be honest — U.S. platforms win because they:
- Are easy to integrate
- Offer generous free tiers
- Have global brand trust
But with growth comes real risk:
- Dollar-based pricing inflates infra costs by 20–40%
- RBI, MeitY & MCA regulations increase compliance burden
- Lack of data control means higher investor scrutiny
This isn’t just about nationalism. It’s about long-term survivability and ownership.
Indian Startups Must Invest in Core Tech — Not Just Product Features
What most first-time founders underestimate:
Your tech stack is your foundation, not a cost center.
When you outsource infra thinking — cloud, DevOps, backend ops — you give up control over reliability, cost, and scale.
That’s where Peritys steps in.

Think Like a Founder, Not a Feature Developer
Startups fail not because of lack of innovation — but because they can’t scale reliably, affordably, or securely.
A beautiful UI or a working MVP isn’t enough if your infra can’t handle traffic, your codebase is fragile, or your costs balloon with growth.
At Peritys, we help you build like a tech-first company — not just a pitch deck.
Don’t Just Build Fast. Build Right.
It’s time to go from “just shipping features” to “owning your stack.”
