NxtGen Cloud Technologies, one of India’s leading sovereign cloud and data centre providers,introduces India’s first ‘Pay-as-You-Use’ model on its sovereign AI coding autopilot platform, M for Coding. The opensource platform, nowaccessible to all, features a new paid model that enables developers, startups, and enterprises to build software faster and more affordably, paying only for what they use instead of fixed subscriptions or licenses.
Transforming How India Builds Software
In a rapidly digitising economy, the demand for custom-built software continues to surge. Yet, traditional development remains slow and costly, often inaccessible for startups and smaller businesses. According to recent industry estimates, developing a single application can cost between USD 25,000 and 150,000, while enterprise-grade solutions can exceed USD 1 million.
Today, AI-driven low-code and no-code tools are reshaping this landscape, significantly reducing costs and delivery time. However, the new usage model by M for Coding removes upfront commitments and enables developers to build, test, and deploy on demand through flexible usage credits. It has the potential to further reduce software development costs by nearly 32%consistently and shorten build time by 45%, making development faster, scalable, and significantly more affordable for India’s growing tech ecosystem.
Making Software Creation Accessible to All
The AI platform arrives at a pivotal moment as India accelerates its ambitions to become a global hub for AI and technology innovation. According to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), over 70% of Indian enterprises continue to store sensitive data on foreign servers, raising concerns around data security, autonomy, and regulatory compliance.
This new usage-based model marks a major step toward democratizing access to AI-powered software creation. By eliminating fixed subscriptions, it opens opportunities for startups, educational institutions, and small businesses that have traditionally been limited by infrastructure and licensing costs.
Hosted entirely on NxtGen’s sovereign cloud infrastructure, M for Coding ensures that all data, applications, and workloads remain within India’s jurisdiction, reinforcing privacy, compliance, and digital sovereignty. This is particularly critical for sectors such as BFSI, healthcare, manufacturing, and government, where data protection and regulation are paramount.
“India is at a pivotal inflection point in its digital evolution where accessibility, sovereignty, and innovation must converge. For years, the ability to build and deploy software at scale has been limited by cost, capability, and dependency on global ecosystems. With this initiative, our goal is to democratize development and enable India to build securely, independently, and at speed. The future of technology leadership will be defined not just by advancement, but by autonomy and India is poised to lead that transformation” saidA.S. Rajgopal, CEO & MD, NxtGen Cloud Technologies.
NxtGen currently supports 1000+ enterprise clients, 12 data centres, and cloud regions across India. With M for Coding, the company aims to empower 100,000+ developers across individuals and enterprises by 2026, enabling them to build applications at a fraction of the cost and time of conventional methods.
