Nirmata, the Day 2 Kubernetes company, introduced a venture funding from Arka Venture Labs, a fund that offers capital and mentorship to international B2B companies. This new funding will permit Nirmata to boost up expansion in APAC, throughout engineering, support, income and market.

Nirmata was commenced in 2013 through Jim Bugwadia, Ritesh Patel and Damien Toledo.

Kubernetes is an open source container platform that eliminates many manual strategies involved in deploying and scaling containerised software program applications. Apart from Kubernetes layout and deployment levels, its production levels need to be monitored, upgraded, and secured extensively- referred to as Day 2 operations.

This hassle is compounded by speedy boom in hybrid and multi-cloud adoption, mainly in current times.

Nirmata is a unified management plane for Kubernetes clusters and workloads constructed for company DevOps teams. Nirmata permits self-service cluster provisioning, offers visibility, health, metrics, and alerts, guarantees compliance via workload policies, and streamlines software deployments across clusters.

“As developers across the globe adopt Kubernetes, Nirmata is well positioned to solve the cloud-native application management complexities across multiple Kubernetes clusters and cloud providers, without lock-in and unnecessary abstractions,” said Bugwadia, CEO, Nirmata.

Recently, Nirmata in partnership with Amazon introduced a brand new product offering, the Nirmata EKS Manager, which eliminates numerous Day 2 challenges confronted through Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service users. Nirmata EKS Manager is available in the AWS marketplace.

Arka Venture Labs invests in B2B tech organizations in India and the US. In addition to offering capital, the institution works carefully with the organizations by imparting professional mentorship, networking opportunities, infrastructure help and connections to valley ecosystems.

“We liked the strong credentials of the founders and their ability to provide a complete solution to solve the Day 2 Kubernetes problem of some of the Fortune 500 companies with their patented platform,” said Radhesh Kanumury, managing partner, Arka Venture Labs.

Arka Venture Labs is the first of its kind India-US cross-border accelerator fund that has been released with 3 VC companies anchored through Blume Ventures, Benhamou Global Ventures (BGV), and Emergent Ventures. They are open to B2B startups with a sturdy boom in the US, sponsored by sturdy core technology and monetary differentiators.
