Group CIO | 20 years building and scaling technology through hypergrowth at Udaan, Flipkart, and Amazon.I run IT, Information Security, Cloud, and Data Centre operations at Udaan as Group CIO - reporting to the CEO, with regular interface through the IT Strategic Committee of our regulated entities. Joined in 2019 to build the function from zero.What I'm good at:- Building functions from scratch - strategy, people, processes, vendor stack, governance.- Leading people and shaping team culture. Engineers and managers I've coached have moved into senior roles across other organisations.- Lean operator instincts - minimum tools, maximum integration. Disciplined on build-vs-buy.- Built through cycles. Hypergrowth, scale-up, right-sizing, restructuring - I've operated through all of them, which means I treat IT decisions as durable across business conditions, not optimised for one.- Audit and investor-grade governance. Run audits as continuous discipline, not annual scrambles.- Long-view thinking. Design for the scale that's coming, not the one that's here.- Growth through breadth - compute, network, security, product, AI. A new domain every few years.First IT employee at Flipkart in 2010; grew through six roles to Senior Manager - Networking before joining Udaan in 2019.
