Shankar Morwal — Founder & CTO, HabileLabs



HabileLabs LinkedIn X Medium npm Jaipur


whoami

I'm Shankar Morwal — co-founder and CTO of HabileLabs, helping enterprises adopt Cloud, Data and AI without betting the business on it.

I was supposed to be an electronics engineer. I studied Electronics & Communication at MNIT Jaipur, graduated with the 2011 batch, spent about a year writing Java — and then the mobile boom hijacked me into web and mobile development. I've been stuck with that new passion ever since.

Alongside HabileLabs I serve as CTO at iSEEit, a native Salesforce opportunity-management product built around the MEDDIC methodology — checkpoint pipeline views, relationship mapping, evidence-based forecasting. I took it from zero to one and still own its technical direction. Going 0→1 on a product is a different discipline from scaling a services business, and doing both keeps each one honest.

"Senior Software Architect and Nodejs guru. CTO and co-founder at habilelabs.io" — the bio I wrote on this profile years ago and have never felt the need to change


What I'm building

On 10 June 2016, Ankit Dhir and I were appointed directors of Habilelabs Pvt. Ltd. on the day it was incorporated. A decade later we're still the only two names on the register — no third director, no funding rounds — and the Jaipur startup has become a global engineering and consulting partner.

HabileLabs: building since 2016, 200+ clients served, 15+ countries, 5 global offices, 95% client retention

I own the technology side of it: architecture, delivery, security posture, and turning AI from a demo into something that survives production and audit.

"Our vision for the cloud practice is to make it invisible. When architecture, automation, and security are woven into business DNA, technology stops being an overhead — it becomes the nervous system of growth."

What my teams ship

Pillar In practice
Cloud & Modernization AWS Transformation · Azure · Cloud Operations · DevOps
Data & AI Generative AI · Agentic AI · Data Engineering · Analytics & BI
Enterprise Services Salesforce · Agentforce · Platform Integration · Staff Augmentation
Intelligent Transformation AI Strategy · Custom AI Development · Analytics · Product Engineering

Where most of my attention goes now: AI

I lead HabileLabs' AI practice. In 2026 that means far less "can we demo this" and far more "can this hold up under load, and can it pass an audit." Most engagements start with strategy rather than a model, because the expensive mistakes are made before anyone picks one.

"We are operationalizing AI not just as an add-on, but seamlessly embedding it across workflows — from data pipelines to GenAI solutions for scalable, enterprise-ready deployments."

Before a model is chosen — AI readiness assessment · data & AI maturity assessment · strategic roadmapping · tech-stack advisory · AI governance, ethics & compliance

Capability What we actually build
Generative AI Custom-trained LLMs, RAG over enterprise data, document and content workflows
Agentic AI Autonomous agents wired into real systems of record; conversational AI
Applied ML Predictive analytics, NLP, computer vision, recommendation systems
Production MLOps and productionization, Edge AI on-device, managed AI services

Shipped, not slidewareOzoo is an all-in-one AI teammate; Habile iYE is computer vision that watches spaces in real time; Refine uses AI to find hidden AWS spend. And in regulated work, AI does the unglamorous job: discovering and masking Aadhaar, PAN and bank details across databases, documents and email before anything moves to the cloud.

Credentials — HabileLabs holds the AWS AI Services Competency for AI and Generative AI solutions (covering RAG, LLMs and production-grade AWS deployments). I hold AWS Partner: Generative AI Sales 2024 – Specialized.


Products we've put into the world

Product What it is
FinHub API marketplace for BFSI — verification, compliance, onboarding
Ozoo An all-in-one AI teammate that eats repetitive work
Habile iYE AI video monitoring that sees, hears and acts
Refine Free AI-powered AWS cost optimizer
ISV Insights App analytics for Salesforce ISV partners
DocuSwift Enterprise document management built to scale
Learnify Corporate training and certification management
Event Nerve End-to-end event management platform
Corporate CMS Enterprise website control without depending on IT
Smart Bell IoT school bell that automates the timetable

The problems I find most interesting

Most of my recent work sits where regulated data meets cloud scale — NBFCs, banks and insurers who can't simply lift-and-shift.

  • Zero-trust, identity-as-perimeter — access starts at zero and is granted by role and real need
  • AI-driven discovery and masking of PII — finding Aadhaar, PAN and bank details across databases, documents and email before anything moves
  • Active-active disaster recovery, with RTO/RPO numbers you can actually defend
  • FinOps — financial discipline applied to cloud spend
  • AI-powered continuous compliance — governance that runs constantly, not once a quarter

"The objective is not to migrate everything quickly, but to move each workload at the right time, for the right business reason, and with controlled risk."


Things I've actually shipped

Ten packages on npm under ~shankarmorwal, and the code I've committed most to lives in the habilelabs org rather than here:

@shankarmorwal/rn-viewpager ViewPager for React Native, one API across Android and iOS ~1.9k downloads/yr
@shankarmorwal/webauth-server + -client Strong authentication with the WebAuthn / FIDO2 standard
habilejs Starter-kit generator for our Node + Mongo stack

Education

Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad Senior Management Programme (SMP), 2025–26 — in progress
Malaviya National Institute of Technology, Jaipur B.Tech, Electronics & Communication Engineering, 2011 batch

Fifteen years into engineering is a strange time to go back to school, which is roughly why I did it.

"MNIT is not just where my professional journey began — it is where my values were shaped."

A note on this profile

Most of what's public on this account is a fossil record of JavaScript's last decade — CoffeeScript and Backbone in 2014, Node and Mongo in 2015, AngularJS and Ionic in 2016, Meteor, then React Native and Expo monorepos by 2020. My most-starred repo here is a Chrome extension boilerplate whose README asks "WHO MADE THIS?" and answers with a personal site that no longer exists.

I've kept it public because that's where I came from. The current work lives at habilelabs.io, in the habilelabs org, and in private repos with my team's names on the commits — which is exactly where it should be.

When I'm not coding: travelling, playing cricket, and reading Nifty50 charts far too closely.


Building something that has to be fast, compliant, and still standing in five years?
