About

With over a decade in engineering, I currently lead as Engineering Manager at Zepto, driving backend innovation and building products that scale. At Zepto, I spearheaded the development of Zepto Atom, leveraging real shopper data to create 64 customer personas that help brands target, sample, and grow smarter. I’m also leading the charge on agentic AI use cases, pushing automation and intelligence deeper into our platforms to solve real business problems. Previously, I built and shipped at Airbnb and Myntra, thriving in high-impact environments where collaboration and technical rigor matter. My approach blends hands-on leadership, a bias for action, and a commitment to building teams that challenge the status quo. I believe technology should solve real-world problems, and I’m always seeking new ways to deliver meaningful experiences at scale.
