Aditi Tech buys cloud computing start-up Cumulux

National system integrator for IT major Microsoft, Aditi Technologies, today announced the acquisition of cloud computing company Cumulux for an undisclosed amount.

"Aditi is betting its business on the cloud. We are excited to join forces with Cumulux. This partnership makes us the leader in Azure-based transformation," Aditi Technologies CEO Pradeep Rathinam said in a statement.

With this acquisition, Aditi will drive the transformation of applications and workloads to the cloud, it added.

"To accelerate the adoption, we are investing $5 million in Azure Acceleration Lab -- an Azure-based rapid application development offering," Rathinam said.

Aditi and Cumulux will hire and train over 130 cloud developers to create a cloud services platform, the statement said.

Cumulux CEO Paddy Srinivasan has joined Aditi's cloud advisory board and will continue to drive and build the Azure business for Aditi.

"I am incredibly excited and look forward to replicate and amplify Cumulux's proposition at a global scale with Aditi," Srinivasan said.
