About Badal.io/Badal by TELUS
Badal by TELUS Business is a rapidly growing GCP (Google Cloud Platform) consulting company based out of Toronto, acquired earlier this year by TELUS Communications. We work with GCP’s top customers (banking, telco, energy, retail, etc.) to help them with cloud transformation, security, analytics, ML, and data governance. Clients usually engage us to solve their most challenging business problems and help raise the bar at their organization.
