Executive Mosaic CEO Jim Garrettson paid a visit to Raft offices to present the 2025 Wash100 Award to the artificial intelligence and data-driven company’s founder and CEO, Shubhi Mishra.
Mishra, now a two-time Wash100 Award winner, is being recognized for leading Raft toward another successful year, with major defense contracts won, and championing innovation and modernization across the government and government contracting landscape.
“Under her leadership, Raft rolled out a new and improved data platform to help the Department of Defense make better use of its data, landed an Air Force contract for cloud computing and IT integration, and continued to push the boundaries of how defense contractors can operate with speed and agility,” commented Garrettson, who founded the Wash100 Award in 2014. “Shubhi’s vision isn’t just about keeping up—it’s about setting the pace.”
Raft Delivering Advanced Capabilities to Defense Organizations
Raft had an impressive 2024. The company secured a contract from the Pacific Air Forces to install advanced software at the 613th Air Operations Center in Hawaii to meet mission objectives. Raft will also work with the Space Rapid Capabilities Office to establish a cloud-based satellite operations infrastructure for a command and control program.
In addition to major contract wins, the defense technology provider updated its Raft Data Platform, or [R]DP, which is designed to aid data management and organization at the Pentagon. [R]DP harnesses the power of AI to accelerate and improve data analysis and processing.
“Now, the DOD has access to a powerful platform that gives them the versatility, speed and reliability to take control of its data landscape and stay ahead of adversaries,” said Mishra of the updated [R]DP.
Under Mishra’s leadership, Raft is reaching new heights. The company is growing to become a reliable partner for the DOD and a go-to provider of secure and advanced technologies for the military. Her and Raft’s many achievements over the past year make her worthy of standing among other exceptional government and govcon leaders in the Wash100 Award class of 2025.
Executive Mosaic congratulates Mishra for winning the 2025 Wash100 Award.
