About
Ensemma is a software consulting firm for startups and growing companies, founded in 2026 by Shishir Joshi.
Shishir Joshi
I’ve spent fifteen years building software that has to work under real load. At Gojek I helped build the first GoPay systems, worked on ride-hailing as it grew to three million completed orders a day, and led GoPay’s reliability team. Since then I’ve worked at Zalando and Timescale, and with startups as a freelancer.
I started Ensemma because coding agents have changed how fast software can be written, but not what makes it good. That still comes down to judgment: what to build now, what can wait, and where simple is enough.
