NodeJS will be fine, but I can't help but feel you're thinking about this the wrong way around. Why pick NodeJS? I pick certain stacks because either they offer a USP that I can't find elsewhere (and the development and/or runtime overhead is acceptable) or because I am already familiar with them.

To clarify, I'm not suggesting or recommending something else - just curious.

Well its a start up. I dont have that much man power to try different stacks. Thats why I'm looking for a full stack solution

Sure I understand that, I'm a lone developer myself with a startup currently so I'm with you there! But specifically I wondered why you'd singled out NodeJS as the stack you're interested in. Is it the language? Familiarity? Recommendations? (happy to explain why I'm asking once I know why you've singled out NodeJS - I just don't want to go giving advice that isn't applicable to you!)

yes. familiarity is the main issue. I've been working with js for a long time. Worked with angular & blaze for couple of my project. Also tweaked with nodejs for several personal project. So instead of spending time with a new one I prefer to go with nodejs to make development faster.

Then I think you will find NodeJS to be just fine for your purposes :-)
