Our Story
Technology has become remarkably easy to consume — yet surprisingly difficult to build.
For decades, organizations have relied on complex infrastructure to power banks, governments, healthcare, education, and global enterprises. Behind every application is an ecosystem of servers, networks, databases, and security that demands expertise, precision, and reliability.
Knakl was founded with a simple belief:
Building powerful cloud infrastructure shouldn't require a large engineering team or years of specialized experience.
How It Began
Our founder, Arun Kumar, spent more than two decades designing, managing, and troubleshooting Oracle database environments for mission-critical systems. Throughout that journey, one challenge remained constant — setting up reliable infrastructure was often more difficult than solving the actual business problem.
Along the way, Arun authored multiple books on Oracle Database, helping thousands of professionals build their technical careers. Teaching engineers around the world reinforced one important lesson: people learn and innovate faster when the underlying infrastructure simply works.
Knakl was created to make that possible.
Behind the scenes, Knakl also benefits from the experience of a founding partner with extensive expertise delivering technology solutions for highly secure government environments. While we don't publicly identify individual partners, the engineering principles developed through work in security-sensitive projects have influenced our approach to reliability, automation, and operational excellence.
Together, these experiences shaped a different vision of cloud computing.
The Questions That Started It All
We asked ourselves:
-
Why should launching infrastructure still feel complicated?
-
Why should developers spend hours configuring servers before writing their first line of code?
-
Why should educators spend days preparing environments for every new class?
-
Why can't infrastructure be as simple as pressing a button?
Those questions became the foundation of Knakl.
Where We Are Today
Today, Knakl is building cloud infrastructure designed around simplicity. Whether you're a developer, educator, startup, enterprise, or technology team, our goal is to eliminate unnecessary complexity so you can focus on building, teaching, and innovating.
What We Believe
We believe great infrastructure should be invisible.
-
It should launch in minutes.
-
It should be secure by design.
-
It should scale with confidence.
-
And it should empower people — not slow them down.
This Is Only the Beginning
We're building Knakl for the next generation of builders, educators, and innovators who believe technology should remove barriers instead of creating them.
Welcome to Knakl!

"I spent twenty years fighting infrastructure so businesses could run. Knakl exists so the next generation never has to."
- Arun Sharma, Founder
