About

Engineering leader with 9+ years of experience building and scaling business-critical platforms at Flipkart, Uber, and Zepto, spanning supply chain, fulfillment, identity, and core platforms in high-scale consumer and logistics businesses. I specialise in 0→1 system design and scaling platforms to tens of millions of transactions, with deep experience across warehouse management, fulfillment orchestration, catalog systems, identity & access management, and real-time operational platforms. My work has focused on building foundational systems that become shared infrastructure across teams and enable rapid business growth. At Zepto, I owned multiple charter areas across Supply Chain Systems and Core Platforms, leading architecture, execution, and scale for systems supporting millions of orders in a hyper-growth quick commerce environment. I’ve built and scaled engineering teams, driven architecture governance, and partnered closely with product, operations, and business leaders to deliver outcomes, not just software. I’m deeply involved in engineering org building — hiring and developing talent, defining interview frameworks, mentoring senior engineers and managers, and setting long-term technical direction.

  • I led and owned multiple charter areas across Supply Chain Systems and Core Platforms, responsible for building several 0→1, business-critical systems and scaling them to millions of orders in one of the fastest-growing quick commerce environments.
  • On the supply chain side, I architected and delivered Zepto’s end-to-end Warehouse Management System, which became the backbone for inbound, storage, picking, packing, and dispatch across dark stores. I also built Packman (HRMS), a workforce management platform covering onboarding, attendance, shifts, and payouts, enabling rapid warehouse expansion and operational scalability. In addition, I led systems spanning catalog management, kitchen operations for Zepto Café, and a state-machine–driven fulfillment orchestrator coordinating the complete order lifecycle.
  • On the platform side, I founded and scaled several foundational systems including Zepto’s IAM platform (AuthN, AuthZ, RBAC), real-time WebSocket infrastructure for operational dashboards, CRM and admin platforms, and identity and verification systems used across warehouses and rider operations. These platforms became shared infrastructure leveraged by multiple product and ops teams.
  • Beyond product delivery, I played a central role in engineering org building — scaling and managing multi-pod teams, setting architecture standards, driving delivery governance, and partnering closely with product, operations, and business leaders. I was deeply involved in tech hiring, conducting 200+ interviews, designing pre-hiring frameworks and evaluation rubrics, and helping raise the overall engineering bar.
  • This role combined deep system ownership, platform thinking, and people leadership, with direct responsibility for reliability, scale, and long-term extensibility of Zepto’s core systems.

  • I contributed to launching a single unified page framework powering all Flipkart pages and was involved in major initiatives including the Flipkart Loyalty Program and Hyperlocal commerce, supporting some of the highest-traffic systems in Indian e-commerce.
