Providing Streamlined Provisioning Service for Visibility Into Cloud Infrastructure
Taking a small step towards national self-sufficiency, Grasim initially launched as a textiles manufacturer and continued a remarkable journey of 75+ years by achieving global prominence in Viscose Staple Fiber (VSF) production. As the business expanded it was difficult to manage the cloud consumption and keep track of their infrastructure. Zarthi collaborated with Grasim to simplify their cumbersome cloud provisioning process and provide them with more visibility into cloud infrastructure.
