Introduction: Leading Technology at the Crossroads of Finance and Innovation
In the fast-evolving financial services sector, technology leadership is no longer confined to system upkeep — it’s about building scalable, secure, and future-proof digital ecosystems that enable business agility. Over a career spanning 25+ years, I have navigated the transformation of IT landscapes in Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) and IT service domains, ensuring that technology not only keeps pace with change but drives it.
My journey — from IT Infrastructure to Application Development, Service Automation, and Cybersecurity — has been about aligning cutting-edge technology with customer-centric business strategies, ensuring every digital asset becomes a growth lever.
Early Career: Engineering Foundations for Scalable Growth
Starting in the IT services ecosystem, I honed my skills in network administration, infrastructure deployment, and enterprise-grade IT support. At Radical Solutions (franchisee to Wipro), I worked across diverse projects, including long-term assignments with Mahindra Finance, setting the stage for my expertise in IT governance and multi-location support models.
This early exposure to complex loan lifecycle management applications — from FinnOne Suite to Gold Loan systems — gave me a deep understanding of the critical link between process efficiency and technology adoption.
Strategic Leadership: Driving Transformation Across Financial Institutions
My leadership roles at Mahindra Finance, Mahindra Rural Housing Finance, and Fedbank Financial Services Ltd. involved architecting digital roadmaps that integrated service automation, cloud adoption, and security compliance.
From loan origination systems to core GL and lending platforms, I’ve overseen modernization initiatives that enhanced speed-to-market, regulatory compliance, and operational resilience. My approach blends enterprise architecture frameworks with agile execution, ensuring that transformation is measurable, sustainable, and customer-focused.
Current Mandate: Building Tech-Driven Financial Ecosystems at NIDO Home Finance
As Chief Technology Officer at NIDO Home Finance Ltd., my mission is clear — create a technology environment that scales with business growth while ensuring security, compliance, and customer experience excellence. This involves orchestrating digital adoption programs, optimizing loan processing systems, and leveraging analytics to drive data-backed decision-making.
Here, governance frameworks and strategic IT leadership skills are as critical as the underlying technology, ensuring that transformation aligns with both shareholder expectations and customer needs.

Innovation Mindset: Bridging Technology and Business Strategy
I believe the future of financial technology lies in hyperautomation, AI-driven decision systems, and secure digital ecosystems. Integrating techno-functional expertise with strategic foresight has enabled me to deliver customized applications, mobile platforms, and even innovative solar-powered solutions for field operations — proof that IT innovation goes beyond code.
For technology leaders aiming to elevate their strategic edge, structured learning pathways like the Doctorate in Digital Transformation can provide a critical framework for scaling complex technology programs globally.
Conclusion: Technology Leadership as a Catalyst for NBFC Growth
From legacy infrastructure to digitally orchestrated ecosystems, my career reflects one principle: technology is not just an enabler — it is a growth catalyst when designed with governance, scalability, and customer experience at its core.
To emerging technology leaders in BFSI and NBFCs — think beyond deployment. Architect ecosystems that adapt, scale, and inspire trust in a competitive digital marketplace.
