Gaurav Chugh — CTO
Senior Staff Software Engineer with 13+ years of experience designing and scaling high-performance web applications across AI, search, media, and commerce domains. At Microsoft, I’ve led full-stack initiatives for Copilot and Microsoft Search, building React-based UI platforms and architecting unified search experiences across Office.com, SharePoint, and Bing. Previously, I spearheaded the digital transformation of the Times of India (TOI), migrating to a modern React + SSR stack that boosted SEO and Lighthouse scores dramatically. I’ve also contributed to large-scale systems at Quikr and Snapdeal, consistently driving frontend performance, developer velocity, and platform stability. I bring a strong foundation in scalable architecture, cross-functional collaboration, and product-driven engineering — and thrive on solving complex problems at scale.
