SKYXOPS

Cloud and AI costs priced before they ship

DubaiDev toolsEarly traction

PITCHING AT THE DUBAI NIGHT ON 27 OCTOBER 2026

Most cloud bills are decided by an engineer choosing a server, a GPU or a model weeks before finance sees the number. SKYXOPS prices every infrastructure and AI change inside the delivery pipeline, before it merges, then tracks spend and ranks savings across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.

Cloud cost tools mostly report on the past. They show what was spent after the resources are running and the invoice has arrived, when the only choices left are to explain the overspend or argue about it. AI workloads widen the gap, because token and GPU spend can grow faster than any monthly review can catch.

SKYXOPS moves the cost conversation to the moment of decision. Its guardrails price each change on the pull request and route it to whoever owns the budget, while the rest of the platform watches daily spend, flags anomalies and ranks savings across idle resources, storage, Kubernetes and AI workloads. It is read-only by design and never changes a customer's environment. Raj Natarajan and Khokila Palanisamy run the company across the United States, India and Dubai.
