Yotta Shakti Cloud Alternative
The Yotta Shakti alternative
for developers and ML teams.
Self-serve, fractional GPU from 12.5%, per-second billing, developer SDK and CLI. Same Indian sovereignty. Different go-to-market. And — uniquely — you can license the platform.
Why teams pick PodStack over Yotta Shakti
Credit card signup, Pod live in 60 seconds. No sales call to start.
Allocate 12.5%–100% of an A100 or H100 — useful for inference and sub-utilised jobs.
SDK, CLI, REST API, and podstack.yaml. Git push to deploy.
License the PodStack stack and run it inside your own DCs — for enterprise and government.

Frequently asked questions
Why look for a Yotta Shakti Cloud alternative?+
Yotta Shakti is a serious sovereign Indian GPU cloud — but it is built for hyperscale customers buying reserved capacity. If you are a startup, ML team, or developer that wants self-serve signup, per-second billing, fractional GPU, and a developer SDK/CLI, PodStack fits better. We also offer the platform itself as a license — Yotta does not.
Is PodStack also sovereign and Indian-owned?+
Yes. PodStack is operated by Razordynamics Private Limited (India). All compute and storage runs inside Indian data centres. ISO 27001 certified, DPDP-compliant, and government-empanelment ready. Same sovereignty posture as Yotta — different go-to-market.
Is PodStack built on open-source like OpenStack or Kubernetes?+
No. PodStack is a proprietary, purpose-built platform — our own control plane, scheduler, and virtualisation layer (PodVirt) designed specifically for fractional GPU sharing. This is why we can offer 12.5% fractional GPU allocation and sub-second scaling that reference-architecture stacks cannot.
Can we license the PodStack platform to run our own GPU cloud?+
Yes. PodStack is sold both as a managed cloud and as a licensable platform. Enterprises, government departments, and operators can license the full PodStack stack and deploy it in their own data centres. Contact sales@podstack.ai for licensing terms.
Does PodStack offer fractional GPU like Yotta?+
Yotta sells full GPUs (often on reserved contracts). PodStack offers true fractional GPU from 12.5% to 100% of a card via PodVirt. For inference or sub-utilised training, this typically cuts effective $/hr by 3–5×.
Can I sign up for PodStack on a credit card without a sales call?+
Yes. PodStack is self-serve: sign up at cloud.podstack.ai/portal, add a payment method, and launch a Pod in under 60 seconds. Enterprise sales is available for reserved capacity, dedicated clusters, and platform licensing.
How do I migrate from Yotta Shakti Cloud to PodStack?+
Three steps: (1) push your Docker image to PodStack's registry, (2) sync model weights and datasets to a PodStack S3-compatible bucket, (3) launch a Pod via the portal or with `podstack pod create -f podstack.yaml`. Most teams migrate in under an hour.
Sovereign. Self-serve. Licensable.
