I am an accomplished professional with over 19 years of experience driving digital transformation, enterprise architecture, and technology-led business growth. I have a proven track record of bridging the gap between business vision and technical execution to deliver assured growth and measurable ROI.
My expertise lies in establishing and scaling Offshore Delivery Centres, re-architecting complex technology ecosystems, and launching market-first solutions like "Insurance Wallet" and "Insurance Gateway". I am deeply committed to DevSecOps, rigorous quality standards (SEI-CMM V, ISO/ ISMS, GDPR, DPDP etc), and building high-performing cross-functional teams.
With deep domain expertise spanning InsurTech, FinTech, EdTech, eCommerce, Health Tech, and B2B enterprise platforms, I bring an API-first, cloud-native approach to product development. My strategic focus areas include Applied GenAI, Data Strategy and Risk Management, Platform Engineering, and Mobile-First product design — backed by PMP certification, IIM Kolkata's FinTech program, and recognition through TATA Group's innovation and leadership awards.
