Cloud Space is a Malaysian cloud and artificial intelligence transformation company that delivers cloud migration, AI deployment, cybersecurity, and managed services. Despite widespread industry hype, its co-founders identified a critical flaw in the market: 80 percent of local businesses remain stuck in the AI pilot phase. Most organisations understand the need for these technologies but consistently fail at execution due to unprepared personnel and poor change management. Cloud Space focuses on the people and processes required to actually solve this last mile of operational transformation.

In just three years, the company has scaled to over 50 professionals and nearly RM30 million in annual revenue, experiencing a 130 percent year on year growth trajectory. This momentum earned them two consecutive Google Cloud Partner of the Year awards and recently culminated in a massive RM18 million strategic investment from Gamuda. 

Two of its six co-founders, Aaron Chong and Kishan Singh join us to discuss the intense reality of managing such rapid expansion from the inside. They unpack the operational challenges of aggressive hiring, why certain client projects inevitably fail, the financial mechanics driving their margins, and what the Gamuda deal unlocks for their regional expansion.
