After working on the Data Center and Platform Engineering at NPCI for 5+ years that includes UPI, IMPS, AePS, RuPay, NFS, CTS, CBDC and the AI Infrastructure, now trying my best to bootstrap & startup - MIRASTACK LABS

About

After years of driving platform engineering and fintech innovation at NPCI, Swiggy, and Razorpay, I am now channeling that experience into building MIRASTACK LABS Private Limited—a bootstrap startup dedicated to creating an open, collaborative ecosystem around cloud-native, AI-driven observability and infrastructure platforms. MIRASTACKLABS is focused on empowering enterprises and emerging businesses with scalable, CNCF-compliant solutions that integrate open-source technologies, AI insights, and robust cloud infrastructure. Our vision is to foster a vibrant ecosystem where technology creators and users come together to co-develop, innovate, and transform how cloud platforms are built, monitored, and operated on the lines of sovereignty, open-source, vendor-neutral, agnostic platforms. Guided by deep expertise in digital payments, cloud-native infrastructure, and AI/ML, the PlatformBuilds ecosystem aims to pioneer new standards in platform observability and AI-powered infrastructure management—enabling sustainable growth and future-ready technology adoption. I’m excited to connect with visionary individuals and organizations passionate about collaborating in this ecosystem to build the next generation of platform technology.
