What I'm looking for
I am an established tech professional with over 18 years of experience leading teams across geographies.

Currently, I serve as the Head of India Operations at Bank Jago, where I oversee operational functions and strategic planning, ensuring alignment with global objectives.
Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to deliver results. For instance, I maintained a 0% manpower cut during the tech winter of 2021-2023 while increasing headcount by 10%.
