The person behind Riven
Aakash Mistry
Founder and developer, Riven · Mumbai
Hi, I'm Aakash Mistry, and most people call me Aksh. I'm a full-stack developer from Mumbai with about six years of experience, mostly across MERN, TypeScript and DevOps. Before Riven, I worked at Ansorbit, Sanskritech and JP Innovations, alongside freelance and client work.
Why I built Riven
Rivenstarted with a client project. Their team had a simple React app and couldn't get it live without fighting servers and config. I built a deploy pipeline for them, kept improving it, and it became Riven.
The idea is simple. Deploying should be as easy as Railway or Render, but built for India: your apps run in Mumbai, you pay in rupees through UPI, and support comes from someone who actually understands your setup.
How Riven is run
Rivenis built and run by me, as a registered sole proprietorship. That's a small operation, and I'd rather you know it now than find out later. The upside is real: when you message support, you're talking to the person who wrote the code, not a ticket queue.
Our registration number and legal details are on the business details page, and you can verify them yourself.
Will Riven be around?
A fair question to ask any new platform, and especially a small one. Here's the straight answer.
- No lock-in
- Your code lives in your own GitHub repository and runs in standard containers. You can move to another host whenever you want, and nothing about the way we run your app makes that harder.
- 60 days' notice if we ever shut down
- You'd get at least 60 days' warning by email, and your data stays exportable for that entire period. This is written into our Terms, not just promised on this page.
- Uptime you can check yourself
- Our status page shows the real track record, including the bad days. We'd rather you saw the actual numbers than a marketing claim.
