Anand K Parmar — Software Engineer

⏩ TL;DR: 9+ years building Mobile Apps across fintech, gaming & hyperlocal domains. IIT Mandi alum with hands-on experience scaling apps at PhonePe and co-founding a startup. Strong believer in user-first design, clean architecture, and meaningful tech that solves real problems. ✍️ My Story: Growing up in a typical Gujarati family, I've always admired the entrepreneurial spirit that defines our culture - the ability to take calculated risks, adapt to changing landscapes, and build something meaningful. That mindset shaped my journey from curious tinkerer to tech professional. My path led me to IIT, where I honed my technical skills and developed a deep appreciation for problem-solving. Since then, I've spent 9+ years building mobile experiences that are not only powerful and efficient but also engaging and user-centric. One of my most memorable experiences was building the CoFounder App, a platform designed to connect aspiring entrepreneurs with their ideal business partners. While the app ultimately closed due to no PMF, the journey taught me invaluable lessons about product development, market fit, and the startup hustle — insights I now bring to my work at PhonePe. At PhonePe Merchant, I lead the Catalog Pod building cross-platform seller experiences using Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) across Android, iOS, and Desktop. I'm also pioneering an AI-assisted UI pipeline using Figma MCP and Code Connect, helping engineers ship pixel-perfect UI without manual implementation. Beyond the code, I mentor a team of 5+ engineers and own sprint planning and release operations for the pod. Throughout my career, I've collaborated with brands like PhonePe, Kiwi Inc., and Novopay, reinforcing my belief that great technology is built at the intersection of creativity, user empathy, and solid engineering. I'm always excited to chat about Mobile Apps, scalable engineering, and building real AI workflows that change how engineers work day to day. 🤝 If you're a startup founder, developer, or just someone who loves tech — let's connect! In my free time, you'll find me exploring new ideas, brainstorming app concepts, or sipping a cup of chai ☕️ while thinking about my next side project. 🚀 Let's build something amazing together! 📩 Contact me at: anandkumar.k.parmar@gmail.com
