Arpit Srivastava — CTO

"First, solve the problem. Then, write the code" — John Johnson I began my journey as a curious coder at Cognizant, working across iOS ecosystems when the app boom was just beginning. Over the last 15 years, my path has led me through roles that demanded both craftsmanship and scale — from building user-first mobile experiences to revamping legacy systems into fast, fault-tolerant platforms. Today, as an Engineering Lead at Unacademy, I focus on driving adoption and retention in consumer tech. One of my proudest moments was launching the Learn Spanish app from scratch to App Store in under a month — while also improving its D1 retention to 46.2% and scaling DAUs to 80K+. My prior work at Dunzo helped double average ticket size and grow app-driven revenues by 66%, all while stabilizing critical payment workflows. What sets me apart? I believe in clean code, test-driven development, and mobile-first thinking. I lead by example, advocate unidirectional data flow, and adopt tools like SwiftUI and Combine to craft intuitive, performant apps. Architecture isn’t just about code — it’s about how fast teams move, how stable releases are, and how users feel at every tap. Beyond the codebase, I mentor teams, run tech sessions on Clean Architecture and TDD, and deeply care about scaling platforms with stability (99.95% crash-free users isn’t just a metric, it’s a mindset). When I’m not refining pixels or debugging pipelines, you’ll find me geeking out over memory profiling or pondering SwiftLint rules. Reach me at: nifty.arpit@gmail.com
