Sahana Nagabhushan, Founder, Dev Plaza | She Pitches, She Wins | TiEcon 2025
What keeps CTOs up at night? According to Sahana Nagabhushan, Founder of Dev Plaza, it’s the broken, fragmented, and inefficient state of software development. At TiEcon 2025’s “She Pitches, She Wins,” Sahana delivered a compelling pitch to solve this deep-rooted industry challenge.
A Developer’s Nightmare
Sahana painted a vivid picture of the chaos in modern software teams—disconnected tools, undocumented codebases, manual processes, and inefficiencies that create bugs, delays, and burnout. Despite decades of technological advancement, the developer experience is still riddled with patchwork solutions and half-baked internal portals that companies eventually abandon.
Companies often invest millions in building internal developer portals—only to scrap them after partial ROI because they’re too busy running their actual business.
Enter Dev Plaza: Unified, AI-Powered & Scalable
Dev Plaza is Sahana’s answer to this chaos—a unified, agentic AI-powered developer productivity platform designed to streamline workflows, automate processes, and eliminate redundant manual tasks. With tool-agnostic integrations, Dev Plaza brings together market-standard tools into a single foundational platform.
It automates developer workflows, detects and resolves bugs early, and offers smart insights powered by AI. The result? Developers stop grunting through grunt work and start building what matters.
Why Dev Plaza Stands Out
Sahana highlighted a powerful insight: software development across organizations is remarkably similar in terms of tools and workflows, yet inefficiencies persist due to lack of standardization and integration. Dev Plaza addresses this by eliminating the need to build internal developer portals altogether.
With early traction, an MVP launched in March, and two customers already signed on as design partners, Dev Plaza is gaining serious momentum. The platform’s first agentic workflow, focused on early bug detection and resolution, is launching in July with support from AWS, followed by a general release in August.
Sahana also mentioned an open-source component launched alongside the MVP, though the AI-powered features will remain proprietary for now.
Let Developers Build, Not Babysit Tools
Sahana’s pitch resonated because it’s grounded in real, lived experiences and a deep understanding of developer pain points. “Let’s help our CTOs, executives, and developer communities sleep better—in their own beds,” she said, closing with a smile.
Dev Plaza is not just building a product—it’s building the future of developer experience.
