Website

Amandeep Khurana is cofounder and CEO at Okera, which he launched in 2016 with CTO and cofounder Nong Li. After witnessing firsthand the challenges companies faced in big data and cloud migration, he built Okera to empower all users with easy access through a unified, secured, and governed platform across heterogenous data stores. Amandeep is passionate about distributed systems, big data, and everything cloud. Previously, he supported customer cloud initiatives at Cloudera and played an integral role at AWS on the Elastic MapReduce team, where he oversaw some of the industry’s largest big data implementations. As such, he understands that customers need self-serve analytics without trading in governance or security. Amandeep is the coauthor of HBase in Action, a book on building applications with HBase. Amandeep holds an MS in computer science from the University of California, Santa Cruz and a bachelor’s degree in engineering from Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology.
