What I'm looking for

I'm open to senior technology and product leadership roles in banking, BFSI, and fintech, including Engineering Manager, VP Technology, and Technical Product Manager opportunities in Mumbai or hybrid/remote environments.

At Mahindra Finance, I lead technology and product for Quiklyz, a digital car-leasing platform, including microservices, automated KYC and credit verification, OEM microsites, and resilience programs. I improved conversion by 25%, improved operational efficiency by 40%, and created a new lease-origination revenue stream through Maruti Suzuki and Renault microsites.

Previously at Fino Payments Bank, I led the digital transformation of FinoPay, Fino BPay, and Fino Mitra, scaling the user base from 3M to 10M+ and launching UPI, POS/card payments, FASTag, DigiGold, insurance, remittance, and biometric onboarding. I lead cross-functional engineering and product teams, translate RBI, UIDAI, and DPDP requirements into delivery plans, and build reliable BFSI products with measurable customer and operational outcomes.
