About

I am a senior engineering leader with 20+ years of global experience building and scaling high-performance teams in automotive embedded software, infotainment systems, and GCC setup. My career spans leading transformative initiatives for global brands including Volkswagen Group and Jaguar Land Rover, where I have delivered large-scale programs from concept to deployment, always with a focus on quality, compliance, and innovation. At Embitel Technologies, I successfully set up a fully operational GCC of 500+ engineers across Platform Software, ADAS, and V&V, while driving Agile and SAFe transformations that boosted productivity and collaboration. I specialize in ASPICE & ISO 26262 compliance, strategic planning, and fostering cross-functional excellence that bridges engineering, business, and customer needs. Certified in SAFe, Scrum, Functional Safety, and Automotive Cybersecurity, I bring a blend of technical depth and strategic vision — enabling organizations to deliver cutting-edge automotive solutions while accelerating market impact. My leadership philosophy is simple: build strong teams, set clear direction, and empower people to innovate without compromising quality. Whether it’s establishing new delivery centers, forging strategic partnerships, or scaling complex engineering programs, I thrive on turning ambitious ideas into sustainable success stories.
