MUMBAI, India- December 17, 2025

Crayon Software Experts India (Crayon), a leading provider of cloud-first digital transformation services, has announced a new collaboration with Aiven to bring Aiven’s cloud-agnostic and fully managed open-source data platform to customers across India. The partnership combines Crayon’s strong cloud consulting and services capabilities with Aiven’s expertise in delivering managed data technologies such as PostgreSQL, Apache Kafka, OpenSearch, and ClickHouse. Aiven’s platform is designed to simplify complex data architectures, improve reliability, and reduce operational overhead for businesses of all sizes.

The Indian market is experiencing rapid growth in data-intensive workloads, real-time analytics adoption, and AI-enabled applications. The two companies aim to meet this demand by offering an integrated approach toward data modernization, cloud flexibility, and secure data operations. Crayon1 has been officially authorized as a Designated Seller of Record (DSOR) for Aiven on the AWS Marketplace India, further strengthening its commitment to accelerating cloud adoption and delivering enhanced value to partners and customers.

As part of this strategic alliance, Crayon will enable its extensive partner ecosystem to seamlessly access Aiven’s unified data platform, empowering organizations to manage secure, multi-cloud open-source services with greater agility and reduced operational costs. Through this collaboration, allowing customers to procure and deploy solutions using their existing AWS accounts while ensuring full compliance with Indian taxation and regulatory requirements.

“Enterprises in India are increasingly shifting toward data-first strategies and require platforms that offer reliability, scalability, and the flexibility to choose the cloud environment that suits them best. Our collaboration with Aiven strengthens our ability to support customers with advanced data technologies that reduce overhead and allow them to focus on business outcomes. This partnership aligns with our long-term approach of driving successful digital transformation for our clients,” said Vikas Bhonsle, EVP-MEA at Crayon Software Experts India.

“Partnering with Crayon will allow Aiven to accelerate its growth in India, one of the world’s most dynamic and fast-growing cloud markets. Together, we will leverage Aiven’s historical data and open-source expertise to help more organizations simplify their data infrastructure and accelerate innovation, by removing the burden of database and streaming system management,” said Mike von Speyr, Director – Global Partnerships at Aiven.

This partnership enables Indian companies to benefit from access to fully managed open-source data services across major public clouds and supports faster adoption of cloud and AI-ready data architectures through Crayon’s consulting and managed services capabilities. Infrastructure management overhead is reduced because Aiven takes responsibility for provisioning, scaling, monitoring, backups, and ongoing maintenance. In addition, the cloud-agnostic nature of the platform offers flexibility that supports cost optimization, compliance needs, and multi-cloud choice for Indian enterprises. The partnership further enhances reliability and security by applying globally proven best practices and enterprise-grade operational frameworks.
