Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India
I co-founded Athrv Cloud to solve a problem I lived with for over two decades: security tools built almost entirely for web applications, while the rest of the software world, enterprise, embedded, safety-critical, was largely left to fend for itself. Our platform, AYAvat, catches security vulnerabilities at the code level, before anything reaches production. We built it from first principles, shaped by hard lessons from the field. Before starting Athrv Cloud, I spent 25+ years building and shipping complex software at scale, leading engineering teams of 300+ people across Europe, North America, and Japan. In safety-critical environments, a missed vulnerability isn't just a bug. It's a product recall, a legal case, or something far worse. That reality is baked into everything we build. Prior to that, I delivered mass-production software programs for GM, Ford, Denso, Valeo, and PASA across ADAS, Autonomous Driving, Cockpit, HMI, Infotainment, TCU, and Telematics. Every program shipped. I'm an IIM Calcutta alumnus, where I learned to think about technology as a business problem, not just an engineering one. If you're a CTO, VP Engineering, Head of Product Security, or Compliance Lead at an enterprise software company, an embedded systems firm, or an organisation where software quality and security genuinely keep you up at night, let's talk.
In my role as Co-Founder at ATHRV CLOUD, https://athrvcloud.com, I transitioned from the corporate world to pursue my vision of innovation in Cloud, AI, and Cyber Security. This journey is about creating impactful solutions and addressing complex challenges, ultimately contributing to a better future. I am excited about the opportunities this venture presents and the meaningful work we are undertaking.
