About

Entrepreneur | Strategic Leader | Technologist I specialize in building tech companies from the ground up— building tech products, setting up scalable delivery models, establishing strategic centers of excellence, and leading cross-functional teams through high-growth and transformation phases. With over two decades of experience, I’ve held leadership roles across global technology companies, including: • Senior Director & Head of Global Delivery Center - Blue Planet, Ciena • Principal & Managing Director, DonRiver India I bring a strong bias for structured problem-solving, disciplined execution, and people-first leadership. Before moving into leadership, I spent a decade in roles spanning product architecture, solution design, and enterprise architecture, including six years as a software developer. That foundation instilled a structured way of thinking—connecting moving parts, designing end-to-end solutions, and solving problems with clarity and intent. Currently building Calculative.
