Technology advisory
There’s untapped productivity in every process you run.
Technology and AI can unlock it.
Rolling out Copilot or ChatGPT licenses isn’t adopting AI. The gains come from rethinking the workflows, data, and systems underneath. Nirai brings the senior, vendor-neutral technical leadership to find those gains and build them, without a full-time executive hire.

Who you’ll work with
Nirai is led by Managing Principal Shanthi Shanmugam and Technical Principal Vagmi Mudumbai, who brings 24+ years of enterprise architecture and distributed systems experience. AI-assisted coding has made velocity cheap, but it hasn’t solved judgment or the hard architectural calls. That’s the work.
