Cogram, an early-stage startup, is pioneering the development of a Mongo Query Language (MQL) generation platform that allows users to query databases using natural language, aiming to democratize data access regardless of technical expertise. Partnering with MongoDB, Cogram enables users to explore data by entering English-language questions, which are then translated into MQL for execution. This initiative is part of MongoDB's broader efforts to support innovative startups, as evidenced by its inclusion in the MongoDB for Startups program, which provides resources and community access to high-growth companies. In another development, MongoDB announced the upcoming leadership transition from CEO Dev Ittycheria to Chirantan “CJ” Desai, effective November 10, 2025. Desai brings extensive experience in scaling technology companies and is expected to lead MongoDB into its next phase of growth, leveraging the company's strengths in data-intensive applications and AI. Ittycheria, who will remain on the board, expressed confidence in Desai's ability to guide MongoDB's journey forward, while reflecting on his own tenure and the company's achievements.
