Saugat Sthapit
Principal — cloud, security & architecture
Based in the Philadelphia area · US practice lead
Saugat leads Bade Group’s architecture voice — the layer boards, investors, and evaluators probe when cloud adoption, zero trust, and resilience carry real consequence. His work has spanned edge-scale protection, regulated life sciences, nonprofit missions, and HIPAA-aligned platforms, always with a bias toward systems that hold up in operations, not just in proposals.
On Nepal public and institutional programs, he shapes methodology, security posture, and technical narrative alongside Nisunajni Group as local prime — so QCBS depth and local compliance stay aligned.
Zero trust & enterprise identity · Multi-cloud and hybrid programs · Edge security, DDoS, and WAF · Regulated and mission-critical estates
