Bikash Bhandari

Seasoned Infrastructure Architect, DevOps Leader, and Technology Strategist with over 12 years of progressive experience in enterprise IT, cloud-native technologies, DevOps automation, security compliance (ISO 27001), and Kubernetes-based infrastructure orchestration. With a deep-rooted connection to Karja Suchana Kendra P. Ltd. spanning over 8.5 years (as an employee and consultant), I bring a rare blend of domain knowledge, technical expertise, leadership experience, and a forward-looking mindset to help Karja Suchana Kendra build its next-gen enterprise infrastructure. I architected and operationalized the Silver Blade infrastructure, formed and led the data center team, and later consulted on its enhancement. With the upcoming launch of Silver Blade X, TelcoScore, EKYC, and Cooperative Credit Systems, my blend of DevOps mastery, cloud security, and cost-optimized architecture design makes me the ideal candidate to lead this digital transformation. My experience managing 50 to 55 employees per shift during my tenure as a Floor Manager at McDonald’s taught me how to handle high-pressure environments, delegate responsibilities effectively, and ensure seamless operations — foundational managerial skills that have translated well into team leadership in technical environments. Additionally, founding Owlocular IT Service Pvt. Ltd. strengthened my executive acumen — from building technical strategies, managing clients, driving innovation, to hiring and mentoring engineers. These experiences further equip me to contribute as a transformative leader at Karja Suchana Kendra.
