About

My current focus at Jio is on cutting-edge software platforms development. This includes cloud native 5G Core and 5G Radio technology - which has been designed, developed and manufactured in India. Prior to this, I was involved in the commercialisation of IMS VoLTE platforms, which are running today in the world’s largest VoLTE 4G network since 2016-17. Recently, Developed and Deployed the world’s largest 5G SA Core Network in 2022-23. Forward Looking Research Areas: - 5G advanced - 6G research - The application of ML and GenAI in Telecom - Quantum safety in 5G. - 5G network slicing. Summary of 5G / 4G Products Developed & Deployed in the commercial network: - 5G SA Core Network (5GCN) - 5G Radio development (5GNR) - 5G Network software probing platforms - Private and Enterprise 5G Core - Container & Edge Orchestration Stacks - Cloud Native OSS / BSS (TM Forum compliant). - RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) - Cellular IoT Core Network Nodes - Blockchain Platform Development - Distributed Data Lakes for Machine Learning - Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Controller - Business TAS (Enterprise) services for IMS - Converged VoLTE TAS for 4G & 5G - IP Short Message Gateways & SMSCs - 4G Packet Core development (PCRF, MME, DRA, HSS) - RESTful API exposure gateways (CAPIF) In addition to software development, I am also involved in systems engineering activities of software products - which involve the creation of the network architecture, network design, engineering, as well as traffic dimensioning. Hence, as part of all my R&D projects I have had a dual focus on software and systems engineering.
