Team
Built by people who have spent decades inside the data stack.
Spotonix is built by co-creators of Apache Atlas and builders of business-intelligence, query, and data-platform systems. The product starts from a problem they know well: data systems do not contain all the business meaning needed to answer a real question.

Read profile →Why this team
The hard part is not new. The interface is.
Language models make it easier to generate analytical work. The underlying questions of meaning, context, system boundaries, and review still demand data-platform experience.
Metadata systems
Co-creators of Apache Atlas.
The founders worked on an open-source metadata catalog designed for the complexity of enterprise data platforms.
Analytical engines
Built BI and query systems across generations.
Harish built OLAP on Spark at SparklineData, alongside analytical-engine work across Oracle, SAP HANA, and Apache Hive—not only the current generation of language models.
Operating context
Built and led data-platform teams.
Spotonix comes from the practical gap between what a business asks and what a data system can safely infer on its own.
Advisor
Bob Muglia
Former CEO of Snowflake and former President of Microsoft's Server & Tools Business.
