At Work

I’m currently the VP and Head of IT at ReNew Power. In the past, I have held pivotal roles with significant players in the market. Through this journey, I have become an expert in emerging technology, cloud and business transformation. My career gave me hands-on experience in IoT, SAP HANA, digitalisation, advanced analytics using AI and ML, e-commerce, agile methodologies, mobility, cloud migration and CRM. While I graduated in computer science and completed my post-graduation in Operations and Technology, I have honed and leveraged skills above and beyond those that my education prepared me for. And the one thing that I am absolutely sure of is this: constantly learning and adapting is the only way to remain a technology leader in today’s world.

At Home

Away from work, I am a family man with varied interests. I enjoy spending time with my family and bonding over the latest action movie. Chatting with my wife over a cuppa is another integral part of my day. It’s a routine established over the years and one that I would highly recommend. Our twelve-year-old son’s enthusiasm in all that he learns and does every day reminds us both to give our fullest to our lives and work. My son and I also catch up over games, both indoor and outdoor. However, my days start by working out, a way of life that has improved my all-round health. My usual workout is a mix of walking and running, and as an avid runner, I am constantly training and looking out for the next marathon.
