About

Three decades of leadership experience heading Product Engineering divisions across India’s top tech companies led me to one profound realization: True engineering leadership demands staying close to the 'metal'—not just spreadsheets and strategy decks. This conviction fueled my shift from the corporate structure to a hands-on, entrepreneurial role. My career trajectory has been intentionally dual-track: The first half mastering the code, and the second half mastering the people who write it. I have personally scaled teams, delivered global products, and navigated the full evolution of the Indian software ecosystem. Who I Am Now I am a veteran leader who has returned to First Principles. I have stripped away the administrative layers to reclaim my core technical identity. I am just as comfortable discussing organizational design and team culture as I am debugging a complex block of code. What I Deliver I specialize in offering a unique vantage point to founders: I know how to write the code, and I know how to build and scale the high-performance team that writes it. I partner with companies to set up, architect, and scale high-performance product organizations, transforming chaotic development environments into streamlined, high-output engineering realities.
