About

I’m a technology architect with experience building high-scale, high-impact systems.

My passion is solving real-world business problems through resilient, intelligently engineered systems. I was a founding member at udaan and previously the youngest Principal Architect at Flipkart, where I helped build Dynamic Pricing, real-time Payments & Settlements, the Advertising Platform, and the Data Platform that supported Big Billion Days scale.

Past:
