About

Hi, I'm Samkit Jain, the youngest and possibly most clueless Engineering Manager at Swiggy. I've somehow managed to survive in the tech world by consistently making the worst decisions and implementing the most inefficient solutions. Currently, I'm misleading a team of 15+ engineers who, against all odds, haven’t quit yet, into wreaking havoc on dark store operations. My proudest achievement? Ensuring every order has at least one wrong item. Previously I've built systems which provide delivery routes that even Google Maps can't understand, predict weather patterns that always go wrong, delivery times that never meet the promise and ensure no Restaurant is Serviceable for a Customer. Join me as I continue to defy logic and reason in the fascinating world of tech!
