About

As the Co-founder of Pratiti Tech, I have played a key role in scaling high-performing teams and delivering advanced solutions that drive digital transformation for Software R&D GCCs across India. Pratiti Tech specializes in developing innovative solutions across IoT, Digital Twins, Cloud, Data & AI, and AR/VR. Recognized as the 'Siemens Partner of the Year,' we have also been acknowledged by NASSCOM, Zinnov, Gartner, and Frost & Sullivan for our technical excellence and industry leadership. With over 27 years of experience spanning technical roles, practice leadership, and management, my career has been driven by a passion for technology and the transformative potential of SMAC (Social, Mobile, Analytics, Cloud) and IoT. I have consistently leveraged this expertise to shape the future of business operations. Before founding Pratiti, I successfully led a $24M horizontal business, overseeing a team of 350+ professionals with full responsibility from strategic planning to execution. An alumnus of both IIT (where I graduated as a topper) and IIM, I bring a unique blend of technical expertise and business acumen, enabling global companies to establish and scale their GCCs in India. I am always open to engaging in meaningful conversations about the evolving GCC landscape, both in India and globally.
