About

Over the last 15 years, I have gained extensive experience at JP Morgan, LinkedIn, VMWare, and early-stage startups. I am an engineering undergrad from IIT Roorkee and MBA grad from Tuck - Dartmouth college. In 2022, I quit my job to build my own startup with the world's best co-founder - Ankush Jain. 2022 -2024 have been the most phenomenal years for Akto and myself. I am passionate about building Akto and spend every living hour working on building the best Agentic Security Platform in the world. Follow me to learn how to build your enterprise-grade Agentic security program. #apisecurity #securitytesting #devsecops
