Entrepreneurship often begins with a simple spark, a desire to solve something better, faster, or smarter. For BK Bhate, CEO and founder of Hyperflex, that moment came not in a boardroom but in a production debugging session.
“Elastic is for developers, engineers, and people who create solutions and products that make the world a better, more efficient place,” said Rick Laner, chief customer officer at Elastic. “BK has led high-impact Elastic implementations, and this recognition as the Elastic Excellence Awards Certified Professional of the Year underscores his leadership in technical innovation and commitment to Elastic community growth.”
That spark has now led to national recognition. BK has received the prestigious Elastic Certified Professional of the Year award, honoring his work in building real-world Elastic solutions that help engineering teams scale with confidence.
From Debugging to Building: The Start of Hyperflex
“Elastic gave us the platform. We just built something real on top of it.”
— BK Bhate, CEO of Hyperflex
When BK first encountered the Elastic Stack, it was as a hands-on engineer solving infrastructure problems. What began as a troubleshooting tool quickly evolved into a long-term vision, one that would define the foundation of Hyperflex.
He launched the company with a clear mission: deliver engineer-first Elastic implementations that go beyond dashboards, driving real observability, performance, and resilience.

What Makes Hyperflex Different?
Unlike traditional consulting shops, Hyperflex embeds deeply with its clients’ engineering teams. The company treats Elastic as core infrastructure, not just a log collector.
Under BK’s leadership, Hyperflex helps clients:
- Build search and observability solutions that scale with backend systems
- Migrate from legacy tools like Splunk to Elastic with speed and clarity
- Integrate Elastic with Kafka, Prometheus, Grafana, and security platforms
- Optimize clusters, tune relevance, reduce MTTR, and train internal teams
A Track Record That Speaks for Itself
“BK and his team brought clarity, speed, and reliability to our Elastic deployment. Their deep technical understanding made all the difference.”
— Sr. Product Manager, Media Startup (Name Withheld)
Today, Hyperflex is recognized as one of the most trusted Elastic-certified partners in the market, helping businesses, from fintech to media, get more from their data, faster.
They’re also working on tools that make it easier for enterprises to adopt Elastic, like Splunk-to-Elastic migration accelerators, health checks, and onboarding templates.
Entrepreneurial Leadership Built on Code
What sets BK apart from many founders is his refusal to step away from the technical side of the business. As a CEO, he still reads logs, reviews pipelines, and engages directly with clients’ engineering teams.
This unique blend of technical depth and entrepreneurial clarity is what Elastic is honoring on stage this October.
