This month, Contabo celebrates one year of our datacenter in India, a milestone made possible by the trust and feedback of customers across the country and beyond its borders. To mark the occasion, we’re sharing a few real stories from the people who have helped shape this journey.
Today’s spotlight is on Charotar Broadband, an internet services provider based in Gujarat – a fast-growing state in western India known for its strong business community and tech-forward mindset. Charotar brings reliable connectivity and cloud solutions to homes, businesses, and institutions across the region
From Germany to India and Why It Mattered
For Nishit Thaker, Founder & Director of Charotar Broadband, the journey with Contabo started long before the India datacenter opened. They had already been using the Contabo Germany-based infrastructure and were impressed with the combination of consistent performance and fair pricing.
So when Contabo India launched, it felt like the right place to move to.
“I’ve been using Contabo Germany for quite a while and had a great experience, solid performance, excellent value. When the India datacenter launched, I was excited to switch. We wanted the same reliability, but with lower latency. And that’s exactly what we got!”
The transition to India-based hosting brought clear improvements, particularly in latency and regional performance, a big win for any provider delivering internet services to a local customer base.
A Few Bumps and a Strong Recovery
Like many early adopters, Charotar Broadband faced some challenges during the first couple of weeks.
“There were some hiccups, a few short outages and slower response times, especially with the time zone gap and limited support hours.”
But things soon stabilized. Over the past 6–8 months, their experience has been smooth, with no support needs and consistently reliable uptime.
“Since then, it’s been running perfectly. We haven’t even needed to raise a ticket. It just works.”
Why Contabo Became Charotar Broadband’s Go-To Cloud Partner
Charotar Broadband speaks not just about satisfaction, but also about confidence. In their case, Contabo has grown from being a solution to a strategic partner.
“Every time we plan an upgrade or expansion, the first name that comes up is Contabo. Whether it’s about performance, pricing, or infrastructure, Contabo fits in seamlessly.”
They also continue to value the pricing structure, calling it “great value for money” a core reason why they chose Contabo in the first place.
Looking Ahead Together
For a company that’s growing and serving thousands, infrastructure decisions are not taken lightly. Nishit sees Contabo playing a continued role in their future.
“We’re happy with where things are now. But we’re also excited about where Contabo is going, especially if support becomes even more local and responsive. We see this as a long-term partnership.”
As we celebrate this first anniversary of Contabo India, we’re grateful for customers like Charotar Broadband who believed in the vision, gave us honest feedback, and stayed with us through our joint journey.
Thank you for building with us.
