Cloudastructure, Inc. has opened its first global guard center in Kolkata, India, a move that expands the company’s remote‑guarding operations beyond the United States and positions it to serve a broader customer base in emerging markets.
The opening comes on the heels of a record‑breaking Q3 2025 earnings report in which the company posted revenue of $1.45 million, up 272% year‑over‑year, and a gross profit of $720 k, a 1,070% increase driven by a 144% rise in hardware sales, a 154% jump in remote‑guarding services, and a 142% growth in cloud video subscriptions. The net loss widened to $2.06 million from $1.72 million in Q3 2024, reflecting higher installation and hardware costs that offset the margin gains from economies of scale and higher‑margin recurring revenue.
By bringing guard operations in‑house, Cloudastructure expects to cut outsourcing expenses, lower false‑alarm rates, and improve margin predictability. The Kolkata facility will house trained remote guards who monitor camera feeds 24/7, aligning staffing with local daylight hours and enhancing verification, escalation, and real‑time intervention processes. These operational efficiencies are projected to reduce the cost of goods sold associated with third‑party installers and to strengthen the company’s ability to scale its AI‑driven surveillance platform.
CEO James McCormick said the center “marks a major leap forward in how we deliver and scale remote monitoring, one of the fastest‑growing segments of our business. This facility in Kolkata is the first of what we believe will be many monitoring stations established outside the United States, and we are also evaluating the potential for a future U.S.‑based center.” He added that the company’s 98% deterrence rate demonstrates the effectiveness of its predictive, verification, and prevention approach.
Investors reacted positively to the revenue beat but expressed concern over the widening net loss, a common theme in the company’s recent earnings cycle. Analysts noted the strong top‑line growth and contract wins, while cautioning that profitability remains a challenge as the company continues to invest in sales, marketing, and product development.
Looking ahead, Cloudastructure plans to evaluate additional U.S. centers, expand its global guard network, and maintain focus on AI‑driven security solutions that deliver high deterrence rates and margin predictability for its cloud‑based platform.
