Building the Cloud Britain Deserves
Rooting Clouds is the UK’s first GPU cloud platform billed entirely in £GBP — purpose-built for AI/ML teams, game studios, and researchers who are done with USD invoices, GDPR grey areas, and transatlantic latency.
Give Every UK Developer World-Class Compute — Without the Compromises
Rooting Clouds was founded on a simple observation: the UK’s developers, AI researchers, and game studios were being underserved. The global cloud giants offered impressive infrastructure — but billed in USD, stored data outside the UK, and routed support through US time zones.
We set out to build something different. A GPU cloud that is genuinely UK-native — not just a European region tacked onto a US product. Every invoice in pounds sterling. Every byte stored in British data centres. Every support engineer working UK hours.
Our mission is to make world-class AI and gaming infrastructure accessible to every UK team — from solo indie developers to NHS-scale research institutions — at prices that make sense in £GBP, with the data sovereignty guarantees UK law demands.

Founder & CEOLakshmi Devarapalli
Lakshmi Devarapalli founded Rooting Clouds in 2022 from Lancing, West Sussex, driven by a problem she experienced first-hand: brilliant UK developers and research teams were paying a hidden tax every month in USD conversion fees, while their sensitive data sat in data centres outside the UK.
With a background spanning cloud infrastructure, developer tooling, and AI/ML platform engineering, Lakshmi combined deep technical knowledge with a clear commercial vision — to build a GPU cloud platform that was genuinely built for the UK market, not retrofitted from a US product.
Under her leadership, Rooting Clouds has grown from a solo founder project to a platform trusted by 47+ UK teams across gaming, AI/ML, fintech, HealthTech, and academic research — all served from British data centres, all billed in £GBP, and all supported by engineers working UK hours.
Lakshmi is based in Lancing, West Sussex, and is a vocal advocate for UK tech sovereignty, accessible cloud pricing, and building infrastructure that makes the UK competitive in the global AI race.
“Every UK developer deserves world-class GPU infrastructure — billed in pounds, stored in Britain, and supported by people who actually understand the problem. That’s what we’re building.”— Lakshmi Devarapalli, Founder & CEO, Rooting Clouds
