About

Technology leader with 20+ years of experience building and scaling engineering platforms for Fintech and Investment Banking. I define and execute technology vision, leading large engineering teams to deliver reliable, scalable systems that drive measurable business outcomes. At Paytm, I lead a large engineering team building and scaling platforms that power merchant operations in India and internationally. I built merchant onboarding platforms that brought millions of merchants into the ecosystem securely and at scale. I also built and scaled the field force platform used by thousands of on-ground agents to onboard merchants and distribute, activate, and service millions of Soundbox and POS devices. In addition, I own key components and workflows of the Loan Origination System (LOS) for merchant lending products, enabling high-volume, automated credit decisioning at scale. Earlier in my career, I led large engineering teams while modernising securities lending and middle-office trading platforms for Wall Street institutions, driving automation and electronic connectivity in complex, regulated environments. An IIT Delhi graduate, I work at the intersection of large-scale systems and intelligent automation, shaping how emerging AI paradigms transform engineering productivity and platform evolution.
