Engineering executive at Cohesity leading Gaia, an enterprise AI platform that makes protected data queryable through agentic RAG.

United States
Message

At Cohesity, I lead engineering for Gaia, a private natural-language interface over data protected by Cohesity's DataProtect platform. I incubated the GenAI Center of Excellence and architected an agentic RAG capability that combines vector embeddings with a relationship graph.

I support Gaia across managed Cloud SaaS, air-gapped, and Sovereign Cloud deployments. I also started the AI Research and AI SDLC charters and define security requirements for the RAG pipeline, including tenant isolation and access boundaries.

At CoinSwitch, I led a 200+ person engineering organization across crypto, mutual funds, stocks, and fixed-deposit products. I was accountable for the technical roadmap and Security Engineering, and established engineering metrics and analytics dashboards.

At Myntra and Flipkart, I led data, platform, storage, and security engineering. My work included a multi-petabyte object storage system, data and ML platforms, and serving as CISO at Flipkart; earlier, at AWS, I owned development and launch of AWS Data Pipeline and AWS Glue.
