A record of what I've worked on, most recent first.
Associate Director of Engineering
Myntra — Bengaluru, India
I own the technical strategy and execution for Myntra's supply chain, marketplace, quick commerce (Mnow) and Myntra Global platforms, with around seventy engineers across warehouse management, inventory, omnichannel and partner experience. High-throughput order flows, real-time inventory, thousands of sellers, all of it on the critical path.
Most of the current work is modernising the warehouse and inventory platforms for high-velocity fulfilment, and building out the partner side so sellers can handle onboarding, contracts, terms and claims themselves. Myntra Global is a separate storefront selling into international markets, starting with Singapore; we built it as its own stack instead of retrofitting multi-tenancy through every existing service, and it has run more like a startup inside the company. We're also working with the Flipkart teams on cross-listing, and on sharing inventory and fulfilment with Flipkart Minute.
A good part of the past year has gone into getting AI-assisted development adopted across the teams.
Senior Engineering Manager
Myntra — Mumbai and Bengaluru, India
Three fairly different jobs under one title. For two years I owned the scaling and hardening of the marketplace and omnichannel platforms as they became core revenue channels: observability, access control, compliance, API resilience. The same period covered moving the services we'd inherited from Pretr off an external AWS network onto Myntra's own, swapping SQS for RabbitMQ and PostgreSQL for MySQL with very little downtime. In late 2023 the CEO and chief of strategy asked me to run a time-bound automation charter across supply chain, marketplace and customer operations. From late 2024 I picked up warehouse and inventory, working on throughput and correctness ahead of quick commerce and Myntra Global. Several of the engineering managers and tech leads now running these areas grew into the job over those years.
Engineering Manager
Myntra — Mumbai, India
This is where I stopped building the thing and became accountable for the people who did. My teams covered order orchestration, seller integrations, inventory synchronisation and the omnichannel fulfilment workflows, and I spent as much time on hiring, feedback and career conversations as on architecture. We re-architected the core marketplace and omnichannel services for fault isolation as seller adoption grew, containerised them, brought them into the organisation's CI/CD pipeline, and moved log management onto the ELK stack. We also rebuilt Endless Aisle, the in-store tablet product we'd brought across from Pretr, on Myntra's own stack. The reliability work mattered most: better on-call, better monitoring, and an incident response that held up during peak sale events.
Product and Engineering Manager
Myntra — Mumbai, India
Joined Myntra when it acquired Pretr, to take the marketplace and omnichannel platform from an MVP to something that could carry real volume. I did product and engineering at once. That meant reworking the order management and integration stack we'd brought with us so it could live inside Myntra's own services, then onboarding the first sellers, Puma, Mango and Nautica among them, through partners like Increff. The rest was instrumentation: dashboards for order performance, SLA adherence, cancellations and stale inventory, and allocation logic rewritten to weigh how deep a store's stock was and how close it sat to the customer. Missed promises and orders cancelled for want of stock were what lost sellers' confidence fastest.
Product and Engineering Manager
Pretr Online Services — Mumbai, India
Pretr was a separate company started by the same founders I'd worked for at Ambab, and I joined as its founding product and engineering lead. It let someone find a product online, see whether a shop nearby actually had it, then reserve it or have it delivered the same afternoon. Part of it was Endless Aisle, a tablet in the shop that let staff sell a customer something the shop didn't physically have. I ran around twenty engineers across the storefront, order management, inventory, the allocation and pricing engines, and the integrations with whatever systems retailers already had. It ended up white-labelled in a thousand or so stores. Myntra acquired Pretr in August 2018.
Back at Ambab in a role between business analysis and technical leadership: working out with retail clients what they actually wanted, then leading the teams that built it. Commerce and search platforms for Nykaa, Shoppers Stop, Metro Shoes and others, mostly PHP and Node with Solr behind the search. Ten or twelve engineers across three squads.
Co-founder
The Prathamesh Technologies & Media — Mumbai, India
Co-founded a small studio building e-commerce and content platforms for retail and consumer brands, and grew it to about eight people. I did the architecture and most of the code, and also the selling, the invoicing and the cash-flow conversations. Two of the larger clients shut down within a few months of each other, and that was the end of it.
Software Developer
Ambab Infotech — Mumbai, India
My first job, building and customising online shops for retail clients while e-commerce in India was still finding its feet. Mostly PHP on OSCommerce, ZenCart and Magento, with the usual catalogue, checkout and payment gateway work, plus a group-buying site that later became DealsAndYou.
Before that
I studied Information Technology at Nagindas Khandwala College, part of the University of Mumbai, and graduated with a B.Sc. IT in 2010. I also started an MCA at VJTI that year and didn't finish it, having already started working.
Tools
Mostly Go, Python and Node these days, after starting with C in college and a long PHP chapter in between. MySQL and PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka and RabbitMQ, running on Azure and AWS with Kubernetes, and the ELK stack and Grafana for keeping an eye on things.
