About

27 Years of experience spanning 3 IT companies sums up my professional experience till date. Started my career working for a mid-sized IT company (Genisys Software), moved to a Global SI (Wipro Technologies) and eventually to one of the largest IT companies on this planet (Microsoft Corporation). Being a passionate techie, an AI Practitioner and evangelist at heart, I love technologies that have a profound impact on human lives. A 'Thought Leader', a 'Trusted Adviser' and a meticulous implementer on the ground. An invited speaker at most of the technical conferences hosted by Microsoft, 3rd Party and meetup/OSS Communities. Extensive experience of working with Global Conglomerates, Independent Software Vendors (ISV) and Start-ups in India. I have played key roles through my professional career in aligning to the core priorities of the company. If there is one common thread that has stayed intact right through my career, it would be my ‘Learner Mindset’. My professional success and personal development are a clear reflection of the constant learning approach that I have adopted till date. MY BELIEF: 'Generative AI' will usher Human-Computer Interaction into a new era of transformative experiences.
