About

At Delhivery, my focus as a Senior Engineering Manager centers on architecting robust data solutions that turn vast, complex datasets into actionable insights. Collaboration with cross-functional teams has been key to integrating seamless data ecosystems, ensuring our technical strategies are not only innovative but also at the forefront of the logistics industry. Overseeing the design and development of datamarts has enabled us to enhance data accessibility significantly. With a strong foundation in technical design from my tenure at GoBOLT, my leadership at Delhivery has been instrumental in fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional growth. My commitment to excellence is reflected in our team's ability to develop scalable, high-performance data architectures, and my expertise in Google Kubernetes Engine, Django REST Framework, and Kafka Streams has been pivotal in advancing our data processing workflows.

I’m leading cross-functional teams to architect and operate a real-time, event-driven data infrastructure that powers critical business decisions at scale. From data mesh architecture to observability frameworks, the platform supports everything from operational analytics to ML-driven automation.
In parallel, I’m shaping the engineering behind a hyperlocal delivery network—enabling intelligent driver allocation, real-time tracking, and dynamic pricing models. By integrating systems across mobile apps, Kafka streams, geospatial data, and cloud-native services, we're transforming how goods move in urban India.
