About

I am an Engineering Leader with 14+ years of experience building and scaling high-impact platforms across fintech, mobility, and digital ecosystems. Currently leading Digital & AI Engineering at TVS Motor Company, I focus on translating business vision into scalable, resilient, and future-ready technology platforms. Over the years, I have built and led high-performing engineering organizations, including scaling teams from the ground up to 60+ engineers across backend, frontend, QA, and DevOps. My experience spans designing distributed systems handling 80K+ concurrent requests per minute, processing millions of events, and delivering low-latency, high-availability systems in fast-paced environments. I bring a strong combination of deep technical expertise and product thinking. I have led the development of critical platforms such as payment systems, notification platforms, master data systems, and data-intensive pipelines processing terabytes of data. I have also driven large-scale transformations from monolith to microservices, implemented event-driven architectures using Kafka, and optimized systems to achieve sub-200ms response times at scale. Beyond execution, my focus is on building engineering excellence: • Driving architecture and platform strategy aligned with business goals • Establishing strong engineering practices for quality, observability, and security • Mentoring leaders and building a culture of ownership and continuous improvement • Leveraging AI/GenAI to enhance developer productivity and accelerate delivery I have worked across organizations like Ola Financial Services, Mishipay, Quotient Technology, and MIQ, delivering scalable products in payments, lending, data platforms, and enterprise systems. What excites me today is building intelligent, AI-powered platforms and engineering organizations that can operate at scale while continuously innovating. I am particularly interested in solving large, complex problems at the intersection of platform engineering, data, and AI. Open to conversations around Engineering Leadership, Platform Strategy, and AI-driven transformation.
