About Me
I build platforms that move money at scale—and the teams that make them possible.
As Deputy Vice President/Product Architect at Kotak Securities, I lead a team of 15+ engineers building systems that serve 4 million investors and 7,000 distributors. Over 8+ years in fintech, I've learned that getting things right isn't optional—especially when people trust you with their financial futures.
My track record speaks to impact: architected platforms that increased revenue by 50%, grew daily transaction volume by 300%, and accelerated go-to-market time by 50%. Before Kotak, I founded EdWit Edutech, scaling to 100,000+ monthly active users while consulting on 150+ features across multiple startups. I've taken products from whiteboard to acquisition (FundExpert Fintech to Kotak Securities) by deeply understanding both the technology and the customer pain points.
What sets me apart is my focus on AI-driven product innovation. I integrate intelligent systems into fintech platforms—leveraging AI APIs, building smart automation workflows, and creating data-driven features that enhance user experience and operational efficiency. Whether it's intelligent recommendations, automated compliance checks, or predictive analytics for investment patterns, I architect solutions where AI creates tangible business value.
Currently leading product architecture at Kotak Securities and passionate about conversations around fintech innovation, AI-powered platforms, engineering leadership, and building products that actually solve problems.
