About Me

Bridging Technology Strength with Business Outcomes

Two decades of turning complex infrastructure challenges into clean, scalable, secure solutions.

I’m Nilesh Subhash Shah, a Senior IT Consultant currently driving infrastructure strategy at KLOUD Consulting Services. Based in Mumbai, Maharashtra, I work with large global corporations and new-generation technology companies to design IT systems that simply work — quietly, reliably, and at scale.

My career spans hands-on engineering at Fortune Microsystem, operations leadership at Oriensoft & Syndrome Technologies, and global service-provider alliances at XcellHost Cloud Services. Along the way, I’ve migrated datacenters across Singapore, rolled out Cisco UCS + Nexus 9K fabrics, and built end-to-end Brocade + EMC Storage backbones.

I hold a Bachelor of Engineering (Electronics) from Dnyaneshwar Vidyapeeth, Pune, and certifications spanning AWS, Google Cloud, ITIL v3, and VMware.
