Zero Touch API Governance

For this episode of the Naftiko Capabilities podcast we sat down with Budhaditya Bhattacharya from Tyk and Supreet Nagi from Northwestern Mutual to talk API governance. Supreet shares his practitioner perspective on achieving zero touch governance, where compliance is baked into the development lifecycle rather than being a gate or checkpoint. Budha discusses governance as consistency, reliability, and predictability for APIs, and the importance of reframing governance from something that creates friction to something available by design. We explore the cultural shift needed to get stakeholders aligned, the value of maturity models for tracking progress, and the importance of iterative value delivery over big-bang governance projects. Supreet also discusses his new book From Chaos to Connectivity, the API Practitioner’s Handbook.
