I build payment systems that move millions — then use data and AI to make them measurably better. At Juspay, I own the subscription platform (UPI Autopay, SI on Cards, eNACH) and the routing layer across India, SEA, and MENA — 2M transactions/day at 400 TPS for 200+ merchants. I think in systems: APIs, failure modes, intelligent retry logic, and the operational discipline that keeps money moving at scale. More recently, I've been shipping AI agents into this infrastructure — automating error triage, classification, and moving toward self-serve incident resolution. What I've shipped recently: → Designed a configurable, issuer-aware retry engine with PSP failover that improved execution success rate by 4 percentage points across 200+ merchants. → Took notification delivery from 75% to 99% reliability through pre-debit validations, retry orchestration, and a structured failure taxonomy that reduced manual interventions. → Shipped AI-driven error classification agents that automate triage of 100+ new error types weekly — improving support efficiency and tightening feedback loops to engineering. → Launched Open Router — an open-source routing framework integrating 5+ gateways. Onboarded 25 merchants in 4 months and improved platform resilience. → Built an internal gateway simulator adopted by 65% of new onboardings, cutting integration time by 2 weeks. → Led the Integration Center of Excellence (13 cross-functional members); reduced escalation rate from 65% to 15% and production queries from 10/week to 4/week. Before Juspay, I was an Analytics Consultant at Wells Fargo — reduced banker demand by 10% (~$150M/year savings), shifted 12% of branch calls to digital (~$14M/year), and built segmentation models across 40M customers. Before that, I improved merchant prediction 5x at Envestnet Yodlee using data mining and ML models. Where I'm going: I'm deeply interested in the intersection of AI and complex operational systems — payments, infrastructure, developer tools. I'm building AI agents that shorten root-cause cycles, summarize logs and dashboards, propose next-best investigations, and turn error taxonomies into automated action. The bar is utility over novelty, with clear evaluation and guardrails. Background: MBA from IIT Kharagpur, B.Tech (CS) from NIT Silchar. TEDx licensee & convener (5M+ YouTube views). Toastmasters Club President. I like PRDs that engineers trust and coffee that's unreasonably good. Open to Senior PM roles in payments infrastructure, applied AI, or developer platforms — Bangalore, Dubai, Singapore, or remote.
