Elite distinction awarded for continued leadership, innovation, and commitment to the global Sitecore community

Ottawa, ON, Canada — February 03, 2026 — Konabos, powered by community, today announced that co-founders Akshay Sura and Kamruz Jaman have been named Sitecore® Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) for 2026 in the Technology category.

Sitecore recognized 213 MVPs worldwide this year across three categories — Technology, Strategy, and Ambassador — honoring individuals who actively contribute to the global Sitecore ecosystem through knowledge-sharing, innovation, and leadership.

• Akshay Sura earned his 10th Sitecore MVP award
• Kamruz Jaman earned his 14th Sitecore MVP award

This milestone places both founders among an elite group of long-standing contributors shaping the future of digital experience.

Recognizing Excellence in the Sitecore Ecosystem

The Sitecore MVP program, now in its 20th year, celebrates professionals who go above and beyond in sharing real-world expertise, publishing technical guidance, speaking at global conferences, mentoring community members, and helping organizations implement cutting-edge digital experience solutions.

MVPs are selected following a rigorous review process conducted by Sitecore employees and community reviewers who evaluate nominees on the quality, quantity, and impact of their contributions throughout the previous year.

As highlighted in Sitecore’s 2026 announcement and CMS Critic’s coverage of the program, MVPs play a critical role in accelerating innovation — especially as Sitecore continues advancing its AI-enabled platform strategy.

A Decade of Leadership — and Beyond

Akshay Sura’s 10th MVP recognition marks a decade of sustained technical leadership within the Sitecore community. Over the years, Akshay has:

• Contributed deep technical insights across Sitecore XM, XP, and composable architectures
• Presented at major global events including Sitecore Symposium and SUGCON
• Mentored developers and architects within the global Sitecore ecosystem
• Shared practical implementation strategies that reduce risk and accelerate modernization

Reaching the 10-year milestone reflects consistent excellence and long-term impact within the ecosystem.

“I am incredibly proud to celebrate a 10th MVP and Kamruz’s 14th MVP recognition. This milestone reflects not just personal achievement, but our shared belief that community-driven innovation is what strengthens the entire Sitecore ecosystem. At Konabos, we don’t pursue MVP awards — we pursue excellence, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing. The recognition is a byproduct of that commitment.”
