I was born in Bhopal, India, and raised in a joint family where my grandparents played a pivotal role in my upbringing, as both my parents were dedicated doctors with demanding schedules. After earning my Bachelor's degree in Engineering, I began my career at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) through campus recruitment. From the outset, I worked extensively with Microsoft technologies, starting with BizTalk Server and SQL Server, and later expanding to SSIS, SSRS, Dynamics 365, Azure services, Power BI, and more. Over the years, I’ve held diverse roles including Developer, Architect, CoE Lead, and Practice Lead, collaborating with clients across North America, Europe, the UK, and ANZ. My early career involved international assignments in the US and Canada. Since 2013, I’ve been part of TCS’ Center of Excellence for Microsoft Technologies, currently leading the Apps & AI Practice, with a strong focus on innovation and integrating AI across our solutions.
