About

In 2021, I co-founded PingSafe, a next-generation cloud security platform (CNAPP++) with a simple goal — to help organizations detect and combat security threats in their cloud-native environments with speed, scale, and precision. In just two years, PingSafe grew to partner with 100+ companies globally, secured backing from Sequoia Capital, and strengthened the security posture of over 2,000 organizations through our proprietary Offensive Security Engine and Research Frameworks. This journey culminated in PingSafe’s acquisition by SentinelOne, where I now lead the Cloud Native Security (CNS) and Cloud Data Security(CDS) engineering teams across India, Israel, Czech and US. Before this, I spent five formative years at PhonePe, contributing from its early days to becoming a product that impacted 300M+ users. It was there I learned what it takes to build for scale, reliability, and real-world impact. I believe security should be simple, deeply integrated, and empower organizations to build fearlessly. That belief continues to shape how I lead, build, and innovate every day. Always open to meaningful conversations on cloud security, product building, and scaling technology to solve real-world problems. Actively backing founders who are using AI to create real impact in cybersecurity, defense, and health-tech.
