Aman Kaushal — CTO

Hello, I am currently serving as a Senior Technical Lead at Paytm. I have a total of 10 years of experience in the technology industry, with a focus on system design, architecture, people management, and technical leadership.I began my career in software development in 2016 at Jugnoo, a mobility startup, where I worked for 1.5 years. At Jugnoo, I gained invaluable experience in a dynamic startup environment, contributing to various development projects and honing my technical skills.In 2017, I transitioned to an AI startup called Praktice.AI, based in Germany. My role there involved building healthcare web and voice chatbots, leveraging AI to enhance patient engagement and streamline healthcare services.Later that year, I joined Paytm as a Software Developer. Over the past six years, I have taken on increasing responsibilities, evolving from a developer to a Senior Technical Lead. In my current role, I oversee system design and architecture, lead multiple technical projects, and manage a diverse team of engineers. I am passionate about fostering a collaborative environment that encourages innovation and continuous learning.I graduated from the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Gwalior, with a dual degree (BTech + MTech) in Information Technology in 2016. This rigorous 5-year course provided a strong foundation in both theoretical and practical aspects of IT, which I have applied throughout my career.My journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of both the technical and managerial aspects of engineering projects, making me well-suited for the role of an Engineering Manager. I am excited about the opportunity to bring my experience and skills to your organization and contribute to its growth and success.
