As 2024 comes to a close, we reflect on a year that has truly reshaped CloudKeeper. This has been a year of remarkable growth and meaningful impact—for our team, our customers, and our community. From becoming an independent organization to expanding our product offerings and hosting breakthrough events, 2024 has been packed with milestones that have set us on an exciting path forward. Here's a look at the key moments that made this year unforgettable.
A New Chapter: Becoming an Independent Organization
One of the key milestones this year was our transformation from a business unit at TO THE NEW, an 8-time GPTW winner, into a fully independent organization.
With a growing team of 250+ CKers and counting, we are proud to carry forward this rich legacy while shaping our unique identity. This transformation stands as a testament to the unwavering trust and support of our valued customers.
As part of this transformation, we also launched a brand-new website with a sleek, intuitive design. The aim was to enhance the user experience while clearly reflecting our identity as a comprehensive Cloud Cost Optimization Partner.
Expanding Horizons with WiseOps Acquisition
One of the most notable milestones of this year was the addition of WiseOps, now known as CloudKeeper Tuner, to our family! This acquisition has bolstered our offerings and strengthened our position as an end-to-end Cloud Cost Optimization Partner.
Growing Stronger Globally
As part of our growth strategy, we’ve also expanded our presence internationally, opening our U.S. office. As we continue to scale, we’re looking forward to expanding our presence in the North American (NAMER) region, strengthening our ability to serve customers.
Delivering Measurable Results for our customers: Impacting the Bottom Line
Our favorite moments are always when we truly make a difference for our customers. Here’s what the numbers speak for themselves:
These results are why we do what we do—to help businesses thrive by taking control of their cloud costs.
Strengthening our multi-cloud capabilities with GCP Partnership

Supercharging our product capabilities to make cost management more effortless
We made our products better, smarter, and more impactful. Here are some exciting updates we rolled out for our CloudKeeper Lens, our visibility platform:

Thought Leadership moments that made an impact
Our first self-hosted physical event: Our inaugural self-hosted event, AWS EDP Connect, in Bangalore, was a milestone moment for CloudKeeper. It brought together cloud experts, industry leaders, customers, partners, and top analysts for an engaging day of valuable insights and thought-provoking discussions.
Through this event, many attendees discovered and got a clear understanding of how to maximize the benefits of AWS EDP. The overwhelming response motivated us to plan another chapter in Delhi-NCR.
A noteworthy highlight: CloudKeeper EDP+ has emerged as one of the fastest-growing and most favorite solutions among our customers. With its unparalleled benefits over AWS EDP, and offering larger discounts at lower commitments, we’ve seen a significant increase in the number of new CloudKeeper EDP+ customers, this year.
Launched our podcast series: We launched "The Latte on Cloud Costs" , our own podcast series, offering valuable insights and best practices on cloud cost optimization.
So far, we’ve released three exciting episodes, featuring thought leaders and pioneers in the FinOps and cloud space including Rakesh Pathi, FinOps Lead at Invesco, Cristian Măgherușan-Stanciu, Founder of Leaner Cloud, and Victor Garcia, Founder of FinOps Weekly.
Each episode has been an exclusive conversation with Praneet Chandra, Senior Director at CloudKeeper, diving deep into actionable strategies and thought-provoking discussions. We’re thrilled by the response so far and are excited to bring more episodes that inspire, educate, and empower businesses in their cloud cost optimization journey.
An exclusive e-book on FinOps Landscape: We published an in-depth e-book based on the survey conducted by the Everest Group across 450 organizations globally. It offers detailed insights on Global FinOps statistics, growth trajectory, key drivers & trends, third-party FinOps providers’ offerings, and more.
