Nitin Antoon
Nitin Antoon is a Dutch-Indian author and enterprise cloud architect. He wrote the spiritual fiction series Meera of Karmana after repeated travels in India, and co-authored From Legacy to Innovation, which AP News described as introducing the "Reverse Greenfield" approach.
Nitin's two lives run on the same instinct: take something legacy — an ancient tradition, an aging IT landscape — and find the modern architecture hiding inside it. By day, that instinct built a career in enterprise technology. He started out as one of the initial partners of Bista Solutions, and it was there that he cut his teeth in enterprise systems and built the foundations everything since has stood on. He went on to build the SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform) practice from the ground up, first at SOA People and then again at Atos, where he was ultimately promoted to Chief Cloud Architect. Along the way he completed the University of Cambridge's Fuel Leadership Programme, run with SAP's Institute for Manufacturing. By night — and on long flights, and during his travels through India — that same instinct turned into fiction.
His travels through India — its temples, villages, and living traditions of Ayurveda and devotion — became the source material for Karmana, the fictional village at the center of the Meera of Karmana series. He has said he writes characters with complex perspectives rather than simple good-versus-bad roles, drawing on ancient cultures and early civilizations to imagine how people in those times may have seen the world.
Volume 1 of the series was illustrated by Sheelu Kashyap and edited by Swastika Mukherjee and Nitara Talwar, and published by Notion Press in March 2024.
