Rishabh Jain

Rishabh Kumar Jain is an Australian technology professional and author whose writing explores technology, complex systems, society and humanity's future. His career spans cloud computing, DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, platform engineering, automation and IT infrastructure, with experience across Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform and enterprise AI systems.

His professional experience working with complex technological systems has shaped a systems-oriented approach to wider questions about information, society and technological change. In The Cosmic Architecture, he explores speculative questions about reality, information, the universe and humanity's place within it. The Interplanetary Cloud examines AI, robotics, orbital computing, space infrastructure and the possibilities surrounding humanity's expansion beyond Earth.

The Digital Self-Defence Handbook brings this perspective to everyday digital safety, examining scams, identity theft, account compromise and financial fraud while providing practical guidance for recognising threats and protecting digital lives.

His latest book, India: The Becoming Republic, turns the systems perspective toward the country in which he grew up. Moving from Partition and institution-building through economic reform and digital transformation, it examines India's development while exploring how AI, automation and emerging technologies might contribute to its next phase. Its future-facing proposals are presented as possibilities to examine rather than predictions.

Across his books, Rishabh aims to make complex ideas accessible to general readers and encourage informed thinking about technology, society and the opportunities, risks and responsibilities of the future.
