Introducing Xenode: S3 Compatible Object Storage for India

We're building affordable, high-performance object storage optimized for developers in India. Here's our vision and what makes Xenode different.

Why We're Building Xenode

Cloud storage pricing hasn't made sense for Indian developers for a long time. Global providers optimize for Western markets—their pricing, infrastructure, and support all reflect that. If you're building from India, you're often paying more for worse latency.

We're building Xenode to change that. S3-compatible object storage, designed specifically for the Indian market.

What Makes Xenode Different

Optimized for India

  • Local infrastructure: Your data stays in India
  • Lower latency: Optimized routing for Indian networks
  • Rupee pricing: No USD conversion, no surprises

Simple Pricing

  • Storage — ₹1.5 per GB/month
  • Egress — ₹0.75 per GB
  • Requests — ₹0.004 per 1,000 requests

No complex tiers. No "contact sales." You see exactly what you pay.

Developer-First

  • S3-compatible API: Works with aws-cli, boto3, rclone—everything you already use
  • Clean dashboard: Built with Next.js and shadcn/ui
  • Good docs: Because we actually use our own product

Who This Is For

  • Startups storing user uploads and documents
  • Edtech platforms hosting course videos
  • Agencies backing up client files
  • Anyone tired of overpaying for basic storage
