About

I lead product and technology at scale, with 25+ years across India and the US modernizing wealthtech and core financial platforms. As a former founder who built Clearfunds from zero to a successful exit to a leading digital payments ecosystem, I bridge business viability with enterprise architecture.

Today, my focus is deploying AI as core operational infrastructure rather than superficial features. I build agentic workflows, scalable automations, and LLM-driven systems that generate real enterprise leverage—backed by the commercial discipline to know where software creates value and where it adds noise.
