I lead large-scale payment platform programs across FinTech and global banking systems.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I've led large-scale payment platform programs at PayU across UPI, Lending, and Subscription, impacting ₹200+ CR GMV and 1.9M+ users. I scaled UPI GMV by 5x in one year through product interventions, adaptive fallback pathways, and improved user workflows.
I migrated 1.9M+ users to an upgraded PayU website with zero critical defects, enabling €15M+ in weekly transaction value after launch. I also reduced defect rates by 60% through backward-compatible APIs and release strategies.
Across PayU, RBS, and Sopra Steria, I've driven cross-team delivery for regulated financial platforms, distributed services, APIs, vendor integrations, and cloud infrastructure. I work closely with engineering, product, operations, compliance, and executive stakeholders to manage dependencies, risks, and release readiness.
My software engineering foundation helps me facilitate architecture reviews, identify scalability constraints, and make practical program decisions. I bring structured governance, OKRs, sprint planning, and risk management to complex multi-team initiatives.
