Many cloud migration service providers in India say they have completed hundreds of migrations. Far fewer publish anything you can check. So this list ignores the totals and ranks providers for moves to Google Cloud and AWS only on evidence you can verify yourself. That means the partner tier in the directory the cloud vendor runs, Partner of the Year awards from Google Cloud, and case studies that name the client and the cloud it left. We did not score anyone out of ten or count reviews, because neither tells you whether a provider can move your workload.

How We Ranked Cloud Migration Providers

We ordered the list by how much published migration evidence each provider has. Three kinds count. Recognition from the cloud vendor comes first, mostly the Google Cloud Partner of the Year awards, where migration, modernisation and India country awards weigh more than other categories. Next is the tier and any migration credential shown in the vendor directory, such as an AWS competency. Last is a case study published under the provider name that says which cloud the client left and what happened.

More evidence means a higher place. Where two providers were close, the one whose evidence is about migration specifically went first. AWS and Google Cloud tiers do not compare cleanly, so the AWS partners sit together after the Google Cloud award winners, and the Google Cloud partners without an award come last.

Google rates partners at three levels, Diamond, Premier and Select, and rates Google Cloud and Google Workspace separately. The Google Cloud tiers here come from the official Partner Finder, read on 16 September 2026, the same data behind our guide to the best Google Cloud partners in India. AWS tiers, which run Select, Advanced and Premier, come from AWS partner listings and provider announcements. Google publishes its 2026 winners as image panels with the award category under each logo. We read the categories there and checked them against the announcements of the winners and the DQ Channels roundup of 1 May 2026. We publish this guide and we are on it, and the same rules put us last.

Niveus Solutions, best for AWS to Google Cloud moves

Niveus Solutions, part of NTT Data, is a Google Cloud Diamond partner and was named Google Cloud Partner of the Year for India in 2025, and in 2026 Google gave the India award to its parent NTT Data, which Niveus reports as its own win. It also publishes AWS to Google Cloud case studies under client names, including Bobble AI and EatFit. The EatFit study describes a food delivery service moving its applications and databases from AWS onto a secure landing zone on Google Cloud, with the applications running on Google Kubernetes Engine. If you are leaving AWS for Google Cloud, it has the most published evidence of any provider on this list.

HCLTech, best for large enterprise estates

HCLTech is a Google Cloud Diamond partner and won the 2026 Google Cloud Partner of the Year award for Infrastructure Modernization Migration. Its Partner Finder listing also shows a 2024 Google Cloud Specialization Partner of the Year award for Cloud Migration and advanced competencies in Infrastructure and Application Modernization, the two that cover migration work. It works across Google Cloud, AWS and Azure. We would shortlist it when the move spans many business units and a large application portfolio.

Tata Consultancy Services, best for multi year enterprise programmes

TCS is a Google Cloud Diamond partner and won two 2026 Google Cloud awards in infrastructure modernisation, Global Infrastructure Modernization and Migration for North America. It works across every major cloud and is the default choice when the migration is one strand of a multi year transformation that needs programme management across many teams.

Persistent Systems, best for very large digital platforms

Persistent Systems is a Google Cloud Premier partner. It won the 2025 Google Cloud Infrastructure Modernization Partner of the Year award for Asia Pacific for moving a leading ecommerce platform to Google Cloud, a migration of more than 6,000 microservices and over 100 PB of data that Persistent reports ran with zero downtime and cut cloud costs by 30 percent. Persistent calls it one of the largest Google Cloud migrations globally. Its announcement does not say which cloud the platform left, so read it as proof of scale. For platforms of similar size, it is the reference to ask about first.

Wipro, best for regulated estates modernising as they move

Wipro is a Google Cloud Diamond partner and won a 2026 Google Cloud award for Application Modernization. It suits organisations that plan to modernise applications as part of the move, particularly regulated businesses that want one integrator accountable for all of it.

Searce, best for a Google first consultancy

Searce is a Google Cloud Diamond partner with twenty competencies in the Partner Finder, the most of any India based partner, and won the 2026 Google Cloud award for Workplace AI Transformation in Asia Pacific. Its practice is built around Google Cloud, so it fits best when the migration is the first step of a data or AI programme on Google.

Rapyder, best for moves to AWS

Rapyder is based in Bengaluru and became an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner in December 2024. It holds the AWS Migration and Modernization Competency among others. For a move to AWS, it is one of the strongest India based specialists.

Minfy, best for AWS migrations with managed operations after

Minfy is headquartered in Hyderabad and is listed by AWS as a Premier Tier Services Partner and an AWS Managed Service Provider. A fit for companies moving to AWS that want the same provider running the environment afterwards.

Netmagic, best for a long term managed operator

Netmagic, an NTT company, is a Google Cloud Premier partner covering cloud selection, migration and operations. Its background in data centres and managed hosting suits teams that want to hand over day to day operations after the move.

Unico Connect, best for mid sized teams moving to Google Cloud that also need product engineering

Unico Connect is a certified Google Cloud partner and reseller in India, based in Mumbai. We are listed at the Select tier and put ourselves last, because we run AWS to Google Cloud migrations but have not yet published one as a named case study, and this list only counts what is published. Our published Google Cloud case studies are builds, not migrations. Highlands Brain, an AI powered learning platform for a charter school network in California, serves more than 15,000 students. We sell Google Cloud to Indian businesses and bill the usage in INR with GST, the same way we sell Google Workspace, and the team that moves you can go on to build the analytics layer or AI workflow that was the reason for moving.

What Do Cloud Migration Consulting Services Include?

A cloud migration consulting engagement falls into the same five stages whoever you hire. Ask for each stage to be priced separately, which quickly shows what a proposal leaves out.

1. Assessment. An inventory of servers, databases and dependencies, with a cost estimate for the destination. Google Cloud Migration Center does this for moves to Google Cloud from on premises, AWS or Azure, including total cost of ownership reports, and AWS runs an assess phase inside its Migration Acceleration Program.
2. Landing zone. The organisation, identity, network and policy design on the new cloud, built before any workload moves. This is where regulated data is pinned to Indian regions such as asia-south1 or ap-south-1.
3. Migration waves. Workloads move in groups, usually stateless services first and data stores later, with continuous replication so each cut over is short and a rollback threshold agreed in advance.
4. Cut over and decommissioning. Traffic moves, the old environment stays ready for rollback, then it is shut down inside the exit window the old cloud allows.
5. Optimisation and operations. Rightsizing, committed use discounts on Google Cloud or Savings Plans on AWS, and ongoing monitoring.

Look hardest at stage five. Some providers stop at cut over and leave the running bill with you. Our Google Cloud migration guide walks through the Google framework behind these stages, and the Google Cloud cost optimization guide covers what to do once you have landed.

Who Pays for a Cloud Migration?

Mostly you do, but both destination clouds fund part of a migration that qualifies.

AWS runs the Migration Acceleration Program, which brings tools, training, expertise from AWS Migration Competency Partners and financial investment to a migration. Google Cloud funds qualifying migrations through its Rapid Migration and Modernization Program, RaMP, once each workload has a projected annual run rate of at least $60,000 of eligible Google Cloud spend. Below the $60,000 run rate, we would plan the move as if no funding were coming. Above it, ask every shortlisted provider which programme it can take your project through.

The cloud you are leaving will waive data transfer out charges if you ask its support team before you move, but the terms differ. AWS covers a move of all your data off AWS, or off one AWS service, and gives you 90 days to finish, but do not start any part of the move before AWS approves your credit request. Microsoft credits internet egress only, for up to 60 days, and only when you leave Azure entirely, so open an Azure Support request before you move and cancel all your Azure subscriptions before you claim the credit.

Nobody funds your own team. Testing, sign off and rewriting services that have no equivalent on the new cloud all take engineering time, whoever pays the provider.

What Should You Ask a Cloud Migration Provider?

1. Can you show me a migration like mine? Same source cloud, similar size, a named client or at least a named industry, and the outcome.
2. Which engineers will work on it? Ask for names and certifications, and whether those people stay for the whole project.
3. What is the rollback plan? Each wave needs a threshold, agreed in advance, that sends traffic back to the old environment.
4. Who owns the bill after go live? Agree who rightsizes and buys commitments in the months after cut over, and put it in the contract.
5. How will you handle the exit charge? A good provider raises the AWS and Azure data transfer out offers before you do.
6. Can you invoice in INR with GST? Ask whether that covers only the services or the cloud usage as well.

What Is Different About Cloud Migration in India?

In India the regions change with the cloud you choose and the data rules do not.

Google Cloud runs two regions in India, Mumbai as asia-south1 and Delhi as asia-south2. AWS and Azure run their own India regions, and our guide on when to choose GCP over AWS or Azure compares all three clouds city by city. The region pairs differ on every cloud, so a disaster recovery design rarely moves across unchanged. Ask the provider to show you the new one before the first wave.

The data rules apply whichever cloud you use. The DPDP Act 2023 does not require personal data to stay in India. It allows cross border transfers to any country except those the government restricts. The Reserve Bank of India circular of 6 April 2018 requires payment system data to be stored only in India. A provider should be able to tell you which of these binds each workload before it designs around one.

Paying the bill is different in India as well. RBI rules require extra authentication for any automatic card or UPI charge above 15,000 INR, so a growing bill needs a manual payment by card, NetBanking or UPI, or invoiced billing. Our guide to Google Cloud pricing and billing in India sets out each way to pay.

Common Mistakes When Choosing a Cloud Migration Provider

Do not accept a timeline before discovery. A plan quoted before anyone has inventoried your servers, databases and dependencies is a sales estimate.

Do not leave licences to the end either. Microsoft licence terms change when Windows Server or SQL Server moves to Google Cloud or AWS, and Windows Server is not covered by License Mobility, so the licence cost belongs in the assessment.

And choose the cloud before the provider. A strong AWS partner is not automatically a strong Google Cloud partner, or the other way round. If the platform decision is still open, settle it before you build any shortlist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Conclusion

Choose the destination cloud first. Then shortlist the providers that have published a migration like yours, to that cloud, at roughly your size, and send them the six questions above.
