About

I lead IT strategy, enterprise systems, and digital transformation at NephroPlus — India’s largest kidney care network — overseeing technology across 500+ dialysis centres nationwide. With 15+ years of progressive IT leadership, I bridge technical depth and business execution. My career spans full-stack engineering, enterprise application management, cloud architecture, and now IT strategy at the AGM level — giving me an end-to-end perspective that pure managers rarely carry. What I bring to the table: 🏥 Healthcare IT expertise — deep understanding of clinical workflows, EHR systems, patient data management, and the regulatory demands of operating critical health infrastructure at scale ☁️ Multi-cloud architecture — designing and managing solutions across AWS, Azure, and country-specific cloud platforms, supporting real-time operations across geographies 📦 Enterprise delivery — ERP/SaaS rollouts, vendor management, PMO governance, and cross-functional project execution (PMP® certified, PMI® member) 🤖 AI & automation — actively integrating AI-assisted tools into IT operations, from intelligent monitoring to workflow automation and decision support 🤝 Stakeholder & team leadership — managing engineering teams, aligning IT roadmaps with C-suite priorities, and translating technical decisions into business outcomes Domain intersections I specialise in: Healthcare Technology · Digital Health Platforms · Multi-Cloud Strategy · IT Governance · Cloud Transformation · ITSM · Vendor & Cost Optimisation · Enterprise Architecture · Agile Delivery I thrive in organisations where IT is a strategic enabler — not just a support function. Whether it’s modernising legacy systems, scaling infrastructure for growth, or building a high-performance IT team, I bring both the technical credibility and leadership maturity to drive it.
