Platform governance practitioner, author, and thought leader working at the intersection of enterprise technology leadership, governance, and AI-driven automation.
His work is grounded in real programmes — not theoretical frameworks. The patterns in his books come from years of working with organisations navigating exactly the governance challenges he writes about.
The best governance books are written by people who have lived the problems they describe. Kunal Murarka has spent years working with enterprise organisations navigating the governance challenges that come with scaling Microsoft Power Platform — from the first ISO audit finding that reveals ungoverned data flows, to the multi-tenant consolidation that exposes licensing gaps no one budgeted for.
His frameworks — SCALE-OPS, BOLT, DIALOGE, and SHIELD — are not academic constructs. They emerged from real programmes, real failures, and the real conversations between platform teams and the executives who fund them.
His writing is deliberately positioned at the intersection of strategic and operational. He believes the governance conversation only succeeds when the CIO and the CoE lead are reading from the same page — literally.
