Professional Summary
Senior technology and AI leader spanning the Indian Army, Fortune 500 engineering, and venture building. At Accenture I lead agentic AI work for enterprise clients. Before that I led engineering at Allstate India, and founded CommandHQ and Vetnet.Social, a veteran career platform. As Joint Director in the Indian Army I led HRMS cloud migration ($10M savings) and launched the official Indian Army app. I hire for character before credentials and deploy AI only where it moves the P&L.

Building Vetnet.social: Helping Veterans Build Their Next Career
At Vetnet.social, I wear several hats to build a platform that helps veterans up-skill, re-skill, and find meaningful work. My responsibilities span strategy, marketing, product, customer success, and sales.
Strategy. Drawing on my leadership experience in the Indian Army, I set the platform's direction in line with our mission to support veterans. The discipline and strategic thinking from my service continue to guide how I manage complex projects and deliver results.
Marketing. I lead marketing end to end, from brand development to digital campaigns. Understanding what veterans actually need has shaped our messaging and outreach.
Product. I work with the team to design and build features that solve real problems for veterans, including mentorship programs and industry-specific training modules.
Customer Success. I stay close to our community, gathering feedback and making ongoing improvements so the platform keeps pace with what users need.
Sales. I manage the sales funnel, focused not just on attracting users but on turning interest into active, engaged members.
