About

With over 30 years in the technology and telecom industries, I have built a career around delivering high-impact business outcomes in fast-moving markets. From launching enterprise network services for financial institutions to driving telecom connectivity across IT/ITES sectors, I have consistently aligned technology with business goals. As Country Manager at Transaction Network Services (TNS) for nearly two decades, I helped shape the company’s operations by developing low-latency and co-location trading services, securing exchange agreements with NSE and BSE, and supporting global clients with FIX protocol expertise. My work enabled TNS to deliver highly reliable services to Buy/Sell sides and trading communities. Before TNS, I served as CEO of XConnect Technologies, where we brought voice, video, and IP solutions to enterprise clients and call centers across India. Earlier in my career, I led US operations and training programs at UshaComm, designing one of the first structured software engineer training models in partnership with IIT-Madras. I also played a key role at Escorts Construction Equipment Ltd, where I was part of the national strategy team and successfully launched Daewoo Forklift, capturing significant market share against leading competitors. I have been invited to speak at major blockchain and financial technology forums, including the FIX Protocol Conference, SPIN, and FICCI, sharing insights on infrastructure, trading tech, and digital finance. My Key Areas: Electronic Trading | Blockchain in Finance | FIX Protocol | Market Data & Low Latency Networks | Telecom Solutions | Training & Leadership | Business Process Improvement | Strategic Sales & Account Growth If you want to exchange ideas on trading infrastructure, telecom, or emerging tech, feel free to connect.
