About Me

Hi! I am Janakiram; Jani to colleagues and friends.

A technologist at heart, I have been championing Distributed Computing for the last 14 years.

In my current role of an unbiased, neutral Cloud Specialist, I offer strategic advice and coaching to enterprises and startups. I help them adopt and take advantage of the cloud. Founder and driving force of an initiative called GetCloudReady.com, I enable Architects, Developers and IT Professionals to be ready for the Cloud and thereby get people, processes, products and business applications to leverage the benefits of the Cloud.

My greatest imaginable dream is to continue to be the catalyst to the Cloud revolution by being an independent authority on Cloud Computing as a Blogger, a Cloud Evangelist, a Speaker, an Advisor and Mentor to startups.

Author of an eBook on Cloud Computing, ‘Demystifying the Cloud’ that is downloaded more than 75,000 times in 6 months, I am also the chief editor at CloudStory.in. As a passionate speaker, I have chaired the Cloud Computing track at premier events in India. Having spoken at over 50 events in 2011, I have been consistently rated as the top speaker at premier technical events.

The valuable time and work done at Amazon as the Technology Evangelist and Technology Architect – Cloud at Microsoft Corporation has offered me the breadth and depth of knowledge and expertise in the Cloud Computing domain. Prior to this, for about 10 years at Microsoft Corporation, I have been involved in selling, marketing and evangelizing the Microsoft Application Platform and Tools.

Founded on a strong belief that technology needs to create a lasting impact on businesses, people and society at large; I relentlessly strive to deliver value to my customers and the community.
