Sumit Agarwal — Co-Founder

I am a senior technology and consulting leader with 17+ years of experience transforming how enterprises build, secure, release, and operate software at scale. I operate at Director / VP maturity, with end-to-end accountability for DevSecOps operating models, platform-as-a-product strategy, cloud modernization, and multi-program delivery portfolios across BFSI and product organizations. My core strength is elevating DevSecOps from pipelines to an enterprise operating model, integrating security, compliance, reliability, cost governance, and delivery into a single, scalable system. I have led initiatives that delivered 2–3x acceleration in release cycles, ~30–40% reduction in cloud and engineering costs, and audit-ready platforms adopted across multiple regulated products and clients. I work closely with CXOs, product heads, and delivery leaders to define DevSecOps strategy, cloud and SRE roadmaps, platform governance, pricing and monetization models, and execution frameworks, ensuring technology directly supports business outcomes and regulatory needs. Core focus areas: • DevSecOps Strategy & Enterprise Operating Models • Platform Engineering & Platform-as-a-Product • Cloud-Native Architecture, SRE & Observability • Multi-Cloud, FinOps & Cost Governance • Enterprise Transformation & CXO Advisory I have consistently contributed in leadership roles where DevSecOps and platform engineering are strategic priorities, driving enterprise-scale transformation and sustainable delivery models.
