Profile
Operator instincts. Enterprise discipline.
I’m Shivanand Banahatti (Shiv) — ERPNext architect, Frappe developer, and founder of ATHRU Technologies. I’m also cofounder of Medverse Care (home healthcare), where I lead operations, technology, and frontend. ATHRU runs its own business on ERPNext. I work with leadership teams that need ERP to reflect reality, not idealised process diagrams.

Teams I've implemented for
How I work with clients
Clarity first
Written scope, explicit assumptions, and a delivery plan you can track. No open-ended “phase infinity”.
Frappe-native bias
Customisation that respects upgrades — hooks, DocTypes, APIs — before brittle forks.
Train the team
Adoption is a deliverable. Handover notes and admin playbooks are part of the engagement.
MIS that leaders use
Reports and dashboards tied to decisions — not vanity charts.
Timeline
Highlights — not an exhaustive CV. Ask for detail where you need depth.
