About

At SIXT, I’ve had the privilege of building the R&D organization in India from the ground up — scaling it from inception to a 300+ strong team across Engineering, Product, Platform, and Support functions. As Co-CEO & Executive Director of Engineering, SIXT India, I lead the organization from both Engineering and P&L perspectives, driving innovation, operational excellence, and strategic growth aligned with SIXT’s global mobility vision. With over two decades of experience across Mobile, Cloud, and Security, I’m deeply passionate about AI-driven innovation — from Data Science and Machine Learning to Generative AI and Conversational AI, transforming how products are built and scaled. Earlier in my career, I held leadership and architecture roles at Amazon, McAfee, Nokia, Siemens, and HP, building world-class teams and high-impact platforms across geographies. I believe in empowered teams, modern technology architectures, and a culture of ownership and learning that fuels both people and product excellence. Always excited to connect on technology leadership, AI innovation, and scaling global engineering organizations.
