About

With 15+ years of experience across technology leadership, digital transformation, and platform scale-up, I am a visionary, outcome-driven CTO and entrepreneur focused on building technology and AI as strategic business enablers. I bring a strong ownership mindset, combining deep technical judgment with business acumen to drive growth, efficiency, and long-term value creation. My core strength lies in translating business vision into scalable, secure, and AI-ready digital ecosystems. As the CTO & Co-Founder of BelleVie, a Lodha Group backed premium lifestyle tech startup, I define and lead the company’s technology, data, and AI vision. BelleVie is built around the idea of delivering “The Beautiful Life” - a unified digital platform that simplifies and elevates everyday living for residents across gated communities. I am responsible for shaping the digital roadmap, platform architecture, and operating model while embedding AI and data intelligence across products, operations, and decision-making. My role spans engineering, infrastructure, data platforms, AI/ML enablement, and product strategy, with a constant focus on aligning technology investments to measurable business and customer outcomes. Beyond BelleVie, I am actively involved in enterprise-level strategic decision-making and leadership from a technology, data & AI perspective. Previously, I served as Head of Engineering at Fitternity, one of India’s fastest-growing fitness platforms, where I led large-scale product, data, and platform initiatives during a hyper-growth phase, culminating in its acquisition by Curefit. This experience sharpened my ability to operate at the intersection of technology, data, and business strategy in high-velocity environments. I have a strong track record of delivering complex, cross-functional, and infrastructure-heavy digital platforms, with expertise in distributed systems, cloud-native architectures, platform scalability, reliability, and performance. Increasingly, my focus has been on leveraging AI, analytics, and automation to improve decision-making, optimize operations, personalize user experiences, and unlock new revenue opportunities. Equally important, I am deeply invested in building high-performing teams and future-ready technology organizations - fostering ownership, accountability, execution discipline, and an AI-first mindset. My mission is to harness technology, data, and AI to solve real-world problems at scale - creating intelligent platforms that drive sustainable business impact while meaningfully enhancing the quality of life for millions.
