About NOps

Positioned within the FinOps sector, nOps offers a specialized platform focused on the management and cost optimization of Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure. Founded in 2017 by Jatinder (JT) Giri and Ashok Seetharaman, the company emerged from the founders' extensive experience in cloud consulting. JT Giri, the current CEO, has a background as a DevOps consultant, network engineer, and systems architect, having worked with AWS since its early beta stages in 2006 and founding the AWS Premier Consulting Partner nClouds in 2012. This deep-rooted experience in migrating companies to the cloud and managing complex operational challenges informed the creation of nOps, which was developed to productize the intellectual property created at nClouds.

The company's business model targets DevOps, Engineering, and FinOps teams, offering solutions to automate and simplify the complexities of cloud spending. Revenue is generated through a performance-based model where clients pay a percentage of the money saved through the platform's optimization efforts, aligning the company's success directly with customer cost reduction. nOps serves a broad client base, from startups to large enterprises, and has managed over $2 billion in AWS spend. The firm's go-to-market strategy includes direct sales, partnerships with cloud consulting firms, and leveraging the AWS Marketplace.

The nOps platform is an end-to-end solution that provides holistic visibility into AWS expenses, using AI and machine learning to analyze compute requirements and automate optimization for efficiency and reliability. Key product offerings include Business Contexts for cost allocation and reporting; Compute Copilot for managing autoscaling technologies like Karpenter; and Cloud Optimization Essentials, which automates tasks such as rightsizing instances, scheduling resources, and optimizing storage volumes. The platform helps clients track infrastructure costs, receive alerts on billing anomalies, identify underutilized resources, and manage AWS commitments like Reserved Instances and Savings Plans effectively. Following a significant 450% customer growth over 18 months, nOps secured a $30 million Series A funding round in August 2024, bringing its total funding to over $40 million, to accelerate platform development and expand its integrations.
