Out of the Legacy Age
One in three cloud migrations fail. 85% fall short of goals. At ModernZ we are evolving legacy infra & apps into their modern avatars, architected for the next era of compute.
Our Team
We are Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and engineering leaders from VMware, Amazon, Microsoft, and two prior venture-backed startups, brought together by a shared conviction that the enterprise infrastructure & apps legacy problem is both deeply important and largely unsolved.
Seasoned business leader with a track record of scaling multi-billion dollar hybrid cloud portfolios.
As GM of VMware Cloud, he helped the world's largest enterprises navigate complex cloud transformations through jointly-engineered partnerships with AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, Alibaba, Dell, and Equinix.

Narayan holds three patents in cloud infrastructure and hybrid cloud management.
Most enterprises today have a cloud bill, not a cloud strategy. The fundamental problem is that no one has given CIOs an objective, vendor-agnostic starting point — a true picture of their estate, a business case they can defend in the boardroom, and a migration plan that doesn't blow up on commercial execution. That's the gap ModernZ.ai was built to close.
Veteran engineering leader with a career spent architecting high-scale distributed systems and AI-enabled B2B SaaS.

Previously VP of Engineering at Postmates (acquired by Uber) and a Director at Amazon, leading global teams and high-availability systems with billions in annual business impact.
His infrastructure background includes 13 years at Microsoft building Office 365 Lync (Teams).
Ashish holds seven patents in SaaS management and cloud infrastructure.
The technical debt sitting inside legacy infrastructure isn't just slowing enterprises down — it's actively blocking them from AI. The data is siloed. The pipelines don't exist. The applications were never designed for the services that now define competitive advantage. Transformation isn't optional anymore. The question is whether you do it with precision or pay for it twice.
