Senior🎓
Top SchoolVinay Venu is a Co-Founder and seasoned software engineer with 15+ years building open source digital public goods and enterprise systems that improve service delivery for NGOs, governments and human development organisations. He blends product-led, lean adoption approaches with deep full-stack experience—shipping EMR and health-platform features in projects like Bahmni and OpenMRS while also contributing UI and backend improvements for clinician workflows. His career spans consulting for healthcare payors and consumer platforms (including work on thetrainline.com and Quintype) through roles at ThoughtWorks and Cognizant, giving him both domain breadth and delivery rigor. Two of his open-source projects are listed in the Digital Public Goods repository, reflecting a focus on real-world impact rather than novelty. Based in Bengaluru, he pairs technical craftsmanship (Java backend, Angular/React frontends, REST APIs) with public policy training from Takshashila, enabling him to bridge implementation and strategy.
