Скачать или смотреть The $150M cloud hangover: Sharechat’s cost optimization playbook

What happens when your startup grows too fast - and your cloud bill starts looking like a VC round?

In this brutally honest talk, Arya Ketan (Distinguished Engineer at Sharechat; ex-Flipkart) takes us behind the scenes of one of the most dramatic cloud cost optimization journeys in India’s startup ecosystem.

Sharechat — once one of GCP’s biggest APAC deployments — went from a jaw-dropping $150M annual cloud spend to under $25M. 💸
How? Not by magic, but by mixing deep tech chops with some serious cultural rewiring.

Arya spills it all — the trade-offs, the politics, the architectural facepalms, and the wins that saved millions.

If you’re an engineering leader, cloud architect, or just someone staring nervously at your GCP invoice … this talk is your wake-up call (and survival guide).
