About me

I have spent the last 16 years building security programs, teams, and platforms across some of India's leading technology companies, including PayPal, Flipkart, Cleartrip, and Groww. Today, I serve as the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at Groww, where I lead Information Security and Enterprise IT. My focus is on helping organizations scale security through engineering, automation, and strong partnerships with product and engineering teams. Throughout my career, I've worked across application security, cloud security, security engineering, production security, governance, and organizational leadership. I was fortunate to be part of the early security team at Flipkart, helping build and scale security capabilities during a period of rapid growth. I've also led security strategy and transformation initiatives across multiple organizations and business units. Beyond my day-to-day role, I actively contribute to the security community through conference talks, mentoring, training programs, research review, and open-source initiatives. Over the years, I've delivered trainings and talks at conferences including Nullcon, c0c0n, Black Hat, and others. Topics I enjoy discussing include: • Building and scaling security teams • Security leadership and career growth • Application Security and Security Engineering • Security culture and developer experience • Cloud and production security • Security strategy for startups and high-growth companies • AI and security Happy to connect with security practitioners, aspiring leaders, founders, and teams looking to build security that scales.
