Leadership Commentary

“The introduction of our GAIN Platform for SDLC on Microsoft Azure is a pivotal moment for enterprises looking to shed technical debt and achieve cloud-native agility. By leveraging our proven AI modernization frameworks with Azure's infrastructure, we are enabling mission-critical systems to not just migrate, but to fundamentally transform and modernize, unlocking massive innovation potential while driving down legacy costs,” said Rahul Bindlish, SVP Global Partnerships and Marketing at Grid Dynamics.

Platform Capabilities and Market Opportunity

At the core of the offering is the GAIN Platform for SDLC: Grid Dynamics' proprietary combination of expert human talent, AI-enabled processes and tooling, built for the scale and complexity of Fortune 1000 enterprises. This platform has been internally benchmarked to accelerate project delivery by over 30% and enables outcome-based pricing aligned directly to performance. Applied to Azure legacy modernization, it compresses migration timelines and ties Grid Dynamics pricing to outcomes, which can lead to higher delivery margins.

Microsoft reported that Azure revenue surpassed $75 billion in 2025, up 34% year-over-year, reflecting strong and accelerating enterprise migration demand. Grid Dynamics, a Microsoft Azure specialized partner with five advanced specializations, including Infra and Database Migration, is built to capture this opportunity. Through the Azure Accelerate program, Grid Dynamics clients benefit from free Microsoft deployment assistance, Azure credits, partner funding, and funded migration assessments, removing the financial and technical barriers that typically slow large-scale modernization efforts.

Technical Capabilities

The GAIN Platform for SDLC includes GenAI-powered data migration automation that converts legacy SQL, pipeline orchestration, and data schemas from platforms including Teradata, Informatica, and Oracle directly to Azure-native equivalents. This reduces the manual effort that typically drives multi-year timelines and cost overruns on enterprise modernization programs. In the first quarter of 2026, AI represented 29% of the company's revenue, up from 25% in 2025, driven by deployments across industry verticals including Technology, Financial Services, CPG, and Manufacturing.
