Hi Vikram, Thank you for the warm welcome and the +1 — it means a lot!
To answer your question directly: yes, both Shubham and I are part of IBM. This effort is backed by IBM to bring first-class Db2 support to Apache Airflow, which aligns with IBM's broader investment in the open-source. We are committed to following all Apache Airflow contribution guidelines, maintaining the provider long-term, and being responsive to community feedback. We look forward to getting the PR merged.
