About

I’m a passionate innovator & product creator with 20+ years of experience in business and technology leadership, driving transformation across industries. As the Co-founder & CTO of Screen-Magic, I’ve had the privilege of leading the creation of SMS-Magic and Conversive, a pioneering SaaS platform in the Conversational AI space, helping thousands of businesses engage customers more effectively through AI-powered messaging. I have extensive experience across a broad range of technologies, including Salesforce/CRMs, Telecom/SMS/Whatsapp solutions, AI, Web 2.0 technologies, Cloud CRMs, Xilinx, and Embedded Systems. My journey has always been about bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and real-world business needs, turning complex problems into scalable solutions that matter. Earlier in my career, I had the honor of contributing to high-impact projects with organizations like ISRO and BSE during my time at CMC, and later helped a New York-based startup (now Offerpop) scale rapidly while working with Talentica. As an IIT Bombay Computer Science graduate, I bring a deep technical foundation coupled with a passion for building high-performance teams and delivering impactful products. Outside of tech, I’m an avid sports enthusiast and a former member of the IIT Mumbai Hockey Team. With couple of decades of experience in entrepreneurship, My focus is mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurs to build innovative products & solutions, generating more employments and easing the lives of the everyone. Let’s connect! If you’re passionate about building innovative products be it in any sector, I’d love to collaborate and guide/co-create the new products.
