Google Cloud Costs Rising Faster Than Expected?

I help teams uncover hidden waste, reduce unnecessary Google Cloud spend, and improve cost efficiency — without compromising performance, reliability, or delivery speed.

Sound familiar?

Your GCP bill keeps growing, but it’s hard to tell what’s actually driving it — or where waste is hiding.

No clear ownership

Cloud costs keep rising, but nobody has a clear breakdown of what’s driving them — or who owns them.

Waste hiding in plain sight

Oversized VMs, idle disks, underused storage, and inefficient autoscaling quietly drain budget every month.

No cost visibility

Without proper labels and allocation, it’s hard to track spend across teams, workloads, and environments.

Growth without optimization

As workloads scale, cloud usage expands faster than cost controls — creating compounding inefficiencies.

Helping Organizations Build Secure, Scalable, and Cost-Efficient Cloud Platforms

I’m Amit Malhotra. Over the last 10+ years in cloud and 20+ years in technology, I’ve helped organizations identify waste, improve cloud efficiency, and strengthen architecture across startups and enterprise environments.

Across different industries and growth stages, the same patterns repeat:

cloud costs rising without clear ownership
waste hidden in underused infrastructure
architecture decisions creating long-term inefficiencies

My role is simple: identify where cost, complexity, and risk are accumulating — and help you make practical improvements that reduce waste without compromising performance.

No junior handoffs. No outsourced delivery. Just direct senior-level guidance.

Experience Across Leading Canadian & US Organizations

Over the course of my career, I’ve worked across startups and enterprise organizations in financial services, healthcare, retail, and technology — helping build, scale, and optimize cloud platforms in high-growth and high-complexity environments.

Experience includes:
