AstraneoTechINODE RAMS: a fractional CTO engagement that cut cost and shipped faster.
INODE RAMS BUILT ENV TECH PVT. LTD builds RAMS, a Rack Asset Management System that uses digital-twin technology, real-time monitoring, and IoT to make warehouse operations safer, more efficient, and compliant. AstraneoTech's Prasad Ghawate joined as fractional CTO and delivered measurable change: AWS infrastructure cost reduced 30% through cloud-architecture optimization, unnecessary cloud billing time cut over 50% via scheduled resource shutdowns, release velocity improved roughly 60% by redefining the delivery pipeline, vendor cost reduced 50%, and system resilience improved by moving to loosely coupled components that removed single points of failure. Team efficiency rose about 60% through compliance-safe AI-assisted coding practices.
What was the situation?
A scaling IoT platform with rising cloud cost and slow releases.
INODE RAMS runs a platform built for warehouse safety and efficiency. As the platform grew, cloud costs climbed steadily without a matching gain in performance. Release cycles were slow, any deployment carried risk, and the system had tight interdependencies that meant one failure could bring everything down at once.
What did AstraneoTech do?
Re-architected for scale and cost. Rebuilt the delivery pipeline.
Prasad Ghawate joined as fractional CTO and worked across four areas: redesigning the cloud architecture to eliminate waste and scheduling resource shutdowns to cut idle billing; restructuring the delivery pipeline so releases were faster and lower risk; moving the system from tightly coupled components to loosely coupled ones so a single failure would no longer take everything down; and introducing compliance-safe AI-assisted coding practices to raise team output.

In the client's words
What the CEO of INODE RAMS said.
As our Fractional CTO, Prasad brought in strategic direction that resulted in tangible outcomes: 30% infrastructure cost savings, 50% reduction in vendor costs, and 60% faster release cycles — all while significantly enhancing our security posture.
He led a complete redesign of our systems into a scalable, modular architecture, and delivered detailed technical documentation, roadmaps, and due diligence support that proved critical in building client confidence.
Beyond the technical leadership, Prasad’s ability to quickly resolve high-priority issues and guide our internal teams ensured both business continuity and long-term strategic alignment. His contribution has set a strong foundation for our continued growth.
I highly recommend Prasad to any organization looking for a capable, forward-thinking technology leader in a Fractional CTO.
