About

I’ve spent over two decades immersed in the world of technology and engineering leadership. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of leading talented teams and building impactful solutions across SaaS and e-commerce platforms. One of my proudest milestones was founding the technology division at EM3 Agri-services from scratch. In just six months, we delivered an MVP that resonated deeply with both the business and the farming community; an experience that underscored the value of truly understanding user needs. At Flipkart, I led engineering for the grocery vertical, one of the company’s highest-priority business lines. We achieved 30% YoY GMV growth through deep funnel optimization and platform innovation. I oversaw projects involving up to ten teams and built key capabilities like the internationalization platform, which helped Flipkart reach 95% of the Indian population. Over the last four years, I’ve been managing managers and leading a large engineering org across multiple verticals; work that’s both challenging and deeply rewarding. At its core, it’s about fostering a culture where innovation thrives. Currently at Postman, I lead the API Testing product and AI teams, where we’re transforming experimental ideas into production-ready, revenue-generating solutions. It’s exciting to be at the forefront of AI innovation, and I take pride in staying hands-on; there’s nothing quite like rolling up your sleeves and building alongside brilliant engineers. Previously, I led the Flash Player India team at Adobe, where I scaled the mobile runtime platform and delivered foundational innovations like the Ahead-of-Time compiler for native iOS apps. Outside of work, I enjoy mentoring young engineers and sharing lessons from my journey. It’s fulfilling to help shape future tech leaders while also gaining fresh perspectives on how they approach today’s engineering challenges. Let’s connect if you’re working on AI-driven platforms, scalable architecture, or just want to trade ideas about building and scaling high-impact engineering teams.
