Hinay Shah’s professional journey is guided by a deep commitment to continuous learning, meaningful impact, and lifting others as she grows. With a background in Cloud Engineering, DevOps, and Compliance, Hinay thrives at the intersection of secure operations and scalable technology.
Currently, she serves as the GRC Engineering Team Lead at GRC Concierge, a proudly women-led company that’s redefining how SaaS and tech organizations approach Cloud Compliance. Hinay helps organizations embed security into their engineering workflows—guiding them through industry-recognized compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and others—while maintaining speed, agility, and operational efficiency. She is passionate about her role not only for its technical challenge, but also for the company’s values of inclusivity, mentorship, and women empowerment, which align closely with her own.
Hinay believes that every ambitious, high-performing woman is often uplifted by the quiet strength of a supportive ecosystem. Behind her drive is the foundation of responsible parenting, encouraging role models, and a partner who stands shoulder-to-shoulder with her—sharing the load, the sacrifices, and the triumphs.

She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering from India and a Master of Engineering in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carleton University in Canada. Beyond her technical expertise, she is driven by a strong sense of social responsibility. She actively supports community-focused initiatives and has taught underserved students in NGOs, helping them access education and envision a brighter future. She believes in using her skills not just to build systems, but to build opportunities—for women, for youth, and for anyone ready to learn and grow.
With broad experience across AWS, GCP, and Azure cloud platforms, Hinay has applied core DevOps principles to design scalable systems, drive automation, and support high-performing teams across a range of startup and enterprise environments. Her experience in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), Risk Management, and Compliance Automation allows her to bridge the gap between technical teams and regulatory requirements—always with a strategic, collaborative approach.
“Growth doesn’t come from playing it safe. It comes from choosing the harder path, again and again—learning fast, adapting faster, and trusting that curiosity will take you further than comfort ever could.”
