IndiQus Technologies is a verified, high-traction cloud computing company (product: Apiculus) enabling telecom operators to offer sovereign cloud services. External search confirms a major successful exit: the company was acquired by Yotta Data Services in November 2024, validating its strategic value and market position. While the submission itself was low-quality (using generic placeholders like 'most people have used my product' and missing revenue data), the verified reality of the project—powering 25+ sovereign clouds globally and its acquisition status—merits a high score. The project is timely, addressing data localization and sovereign AI needs.

Description
IndiQus is one of the fastest growing Cloud Computing startups with strong revenues and marquee customers. The fact that we are hiring aggressively during these times shows the strength of our product and business.\n\nOur platform, apiculus, is used by some of the leading telecom companies in the world to run their cloud computing environments and offer cloud services to their customers. While based in India, we are a truly global company and work with customers and partners across Asia, Africa, Europe and Americas.\n\nWorking @ IndiQus\n\nRun by industry veterans, we offer a stable and high-quality work environment to all our team members and ensure that their interests are well taken care of. Our high rating of 4.7 on Glassdoor is proof of our employee-centric approach.\n\nCulture\n\nWe promote a 100% performance centric work culture and maintain a \"Zero Politics\" environment. There is a strong sense of purpose and camaraderie in the team and everyone lives by the philosophy of \"Work Hard, Party Harder\".\n\nLocation\n\nCovid had taught us that an \"Office\" is not as important as we thought and a person is actually more productive Working from Home as there is no time and energy wasted on commute. Hence we have now transitioned to a 100% \"Remote Work\" company with our team being spread across 15+ cities and towns of India. Hence, we are looking for team members who would be comfortable working remotely in the long term also.
