Case Study: Aircel increases software deployment speed by more than 50% with Amazon Web Services

Aircel Enhances Speed of Software Deployment by More Than 50% Using AWS

Aircel, a pan-India mobile service provider, needed to migrate its Aircel e-money platform to the cloud and launch Aircel Backup, an Android app offering 2 GB free storage. The company required a scalable, secure, and cost-effective backend that met Reserve Bank of India (RBI) e-wallet guidelines, minimized management overhead, and allowed developers to focus on product innovation rather than operations.

Aircel chose AWS, working with AWS and APN partner To The New to build and manage the infrastructure using Amazon EC2, S3, CloudWatch, and CloudTrail. The move delivered 99.999% availability, automatic scaling for traffic peaks, and lower costs than on-premises solutions; it cut Backup development time by ~60% and increased software deployment speed by more than 50%, improving reliability and customer satisfaction.
