Three decades building engineering teams and the organisations around them — turning technology into products people actually love using. I founded CodeIgnition — a cloud automation and distributed systems company acquired by Gojek — and went on to scale their engineering from a 20-person team to over 3,000, shipping millions of orders across 16 products in Southeast Asia, building what became GoTo Group — Indonesia's most versatile technology company empowering the country's economy.
Before that, ten years at ThoughtWorks helping engineering teams across India build software that held up as businesses scaled. Today I advise boards and institutions on product and technology — helping shape engineering organisations and the people who lead them. Lately most of my attention is on how AI is remaking software engineering, product discipline, and team structures. I learn more from the people I work with than from anything I could read.
The same problem kept appearing in different shapes: teams don't slow down because the code gets complex. They slow down because the structure does. The hardest technology problems turn out to be organisational ones. If that's where you are — let's talk.
The story so far
Most recently, I was Operating Partner (Technology) at PeakXV Partners (FKA Sequoia Capital India & SEA), working with portfolio companies on engineering culture, product-market fit, and scaling technology foundations. That chapter concluded in January 2026.
Before PeakXV, I was Group CTO at Gojek, where I helped scale the engineering team from a handful of people to over 2,000 across multiple countries. And before that, I spent a decade at ThoughtWorks — starting as their first India office employee and eventually leading technology for the India region.
Along the way, I co-founded CodeIgnition (acquired by Gojek), ran a startup called Hoppr (acquired by Hike), and tried my hand at everything from selling computers to running a printing press. The longer version is here.
