About

Spent two decades building technologies that power how millions explore, watch, and experience content and sports – from designing distributed architectures in the Valley (Yahoo and Netflix) to leading engineering at Dream Sports. I’ve had the privilege of leading teams that scaled our platform and built systems driving engagement for over 260 million sports fans – ensuring reliability and performance during the world’s largest sports events. This journey has now evolved into something even more exciting, unlocking the potential of AI to transform India into a true sporting nation. My focus today is on building AI-powered video intelligence that truly understands sport – real-time, context-aware, and performance-driven – helping athletes train smarter, engage more deeply, and enabling partners to innovate faster. Outside of work, I’m a devoted Manchester United fan, a fitness enthusiast, and an avid traveller.
