About

SapidBlue helps startups and SMEs with digital transformation and product engineering services. With strong industry experience and deep technical expertise, we help customers drive business value and revenue growth. As a Technology, Product and Startup Enthusiast, I have been instrumental in setting up Technology Arms for enterprises or all-together new ventures from scratch and for ensuring their profitability and growth. Especially from a Technology perspective, beyond grass-root level deliveries and management, my contribution reflects in setting technology and product vision and roadmap, new product & solution design and architect. Over the growth trajectory, I have not only contributed to scaling teams and product portfolio but also been instrumental in new-age technology initiatives like Cloud Infra - AWS, Agile Practices, Automation & DevOps and Making products Highly-Available & Scalable. In addition, my diversified academics (Technology, Management and Law), research aptitude and business acumen have enabled me to contribute to multi-facet responsibilities like Organizational Growth, New Market Entry, Client Relationships, Strategic Partnerships, Competitive Bidding, along with Stakeholder Management across multiple businesses. Over my career, I have worked across multiple industries like FinTech, Payments, Real Money Gaming, eCommerce, Retail, Events. Passion, Responsibility Ownership and Solution Driven Approach reflect in whatever I do. A zeal for continuous improvement makes me challenge what I do, all the time. BTW, currently, I am leading a technology product company with almost 200 Tech Team members, contributing towards multiple product verticals and clients spread across numerous markets. That’s my story!
