## 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\.
