What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a leadership role where I can drive enterprise IT transformation—cloud modernization, SIEM/SOC and EDR/XDR security, and scalable architecture—while building teams and delivering high-impact results within time and budget.

I’m an innovative, results-driven technology leader with 25+ years of experience spanning IT strategy, cyber security management, enterprise architecture, and project/program leadership.

In my current GM – IT role at Sahara India, I lead enterprise-wide IT transformation by aligning technology strategy with business goals across multiple geographies. I built and managed data centers across Lucknow, Mumbai, Pune, and Kolkata, and I’ve deployed open source solutions to reduce licensing costs while improving reliability.

I’ve driven major security modernization by implementing enterprise-grade SIEM/SOAR and SOC architecture, including Splunk, IBM QRadar, Wazuh, and AlienVault. I also implemented EDR and XDR solutions to strengthen threat detection, response, and overall security posture.

Earlier as an Enterprise Architect at Sovereign Solution Corporation, I designed cloud strategy and data analytics solutions for global clients, including AWS-based data warehouse work (e.g., Glue/Redshift) and secure VPN architecture for large user populations. Across previous IT leadership roles, I’ve managed ERP implementation and migrations, achieved ISO 27001 certification, and delivered hybrid infrastructure and network automation that supported compliance and operational continuity.
