Littlebit Labs · The Team
Built by engineers who felt the pain.
Minimal was not designed from first principles in a whiteboard session. It was built by two engineers who spent over two decades watching every team pay the same hidden tax — exposure delay, answer delay, backlog delay — and decided to eliminate it at the infrastructure level.
Co-Founders
Harish S S
Founder & CEO
29+ years in systems engineering. Three granted US patents. Inventor of Universal Boot Volumes, Versioned File Systems, and Velocity Fraud Detection formulae. Creator of the meta-programming language at the core of Minimal's runtime — the only system that derives governed API behaviour at query time with no code generation and no stored artifacts.

Kavita K S
Co-Founder & COO
25+ years across systems engineering, quality assurance, and operations — from telecom switches to SaaS platforms. Led a 15-engineer QA team at Ness Technologies and was one of the earliest members of the Littlebit Labs core team, long before incorporation. The operational backbone behind Minimal's go-to-market execution today.
QA Leadership
Full testing lifecycle — Ness Technologies
Strategy, execution, defect governance, and release sign-off across functional, integration, regression, performance, and E2E cycles
Operations
Go-to-market backbone — Minimal
Client delivery and revenue ops from pre-registration through launch — overseeing the full commercial execution of Minimal today
Gowthaman D
Co-Founder & CTO
22+ years in datacenter infrastructure and cloud engineering. Architected VMware Cloud Observability from scratch — 40MB JVM, 8% vCPU — and led SRE platform engineering for VMC, building event-driven automation that responds to millions of events across 1,000s of enterprise SDDCs. Patent pending in ML-based outage detection — blast radius correlation across AWS infrastructure.

What We Built
50+ combined years of enterprise systems
distilled into one runtime.
The pattern we kept seeing: every team, at every company, spending their first engineering quarters building the same access layer — routes, filters, access controls, pagination, response shaping. Not once, but repeatedly, for every new table, every new customer, every schema change. Minimal makes that layer a runtime inference problem instead of a maintenance problem.
