Hi, I'm Niranjan Ramamurthy. I split my professional time between the physical and the digital. When I'm not out on site lugging around a camera for 3D scans, I'm coding full-stack architecture, native iOS apps, and UI/UX design.
I direct Adostrophe, where we provide Matterport digital capture services across India. Before starting my own agency, I managed large-scale operations in the corporate tech space as a Team Lead at Infosys BPM, along with stints at Wipro and Yahoo.
Community & Social Good
A big chunk of my coding work goes toward social impact. I handle digital infrastructure and manage Google Ad Grants pro bono for NGOs, including the Suicide Prevention India Foundation (SPIF). I am also the developer behind apps like Finostrophe and Ecostrophe, which are supported by enterprise infrastructure programs like the Nvidia Inception Program, Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub, and AWS Activate.
I edit Wikipedia because I believe in the same principle: building open, high-quality resources. On Google Maps, I operate as a Level 7 Local Guide where my open-access spatial photos have generated over 50 million views.
My Editing Philosophy
As a volunteer, my goal is to keep the encyclopedia clean, accurate, and neutral. I focus my efforts on:
- Policy Enforcement: Ensuring strict compliance with Neutral Point of View (WP:NPOV) and Verifiability (WP:V). I actively work to remove promotional fluff, marketing jargon (WP:PEACOCK), and corporate link-farming.
- Biographies of Living Persons: Upholding the highest standards of privacy and neutrality for living individuals (WP:BLP).
- Open Source Media: Contributing high-resolution, properly licensed own-work to Wikimedia Commons to document technology and South Asian cultural heritage sites.
- Manual Verification: I am strictly committed to 100% human-generated, manually verified edits and formatting.
Conflict of Interest (COI) Disclosure
To maintain absolute transparency and align with Wikipedia's COI guidelines, I declare a professional background and potential COI regarding the following entities:
- My agency: Adostrophe and our clients (including Radisson Hotel Group and JK Tyre).
- Pro bono clients: Suicide Prevention India Foundation (SPIF).
- Social initiatives: Finostrophe and Ecostrophe.
- Enterprise affiliations: Nvidia Inception Program, Microsoft for Startups, AWS Activate.
- Former employers: Infosys BPM, Wipro, Yahoo.
I will drop a clear COI disclosure on Talk pages and request an independent review for edits related to these entities.
- Cheers!
