29th - 30th October 2021 - Bangalore.
27 plus years in Technology Leadership spanning Datacenter Infrastructure, Cloud Services, IoT/Electric Vehicles,
Networking and Telecommunications. Active in exploring solutions offline on Sustainable Development for Climate Action,
and in actively mentoring the student and early-to-mid career technology professionals on the importance of harmonizing
Technology Development with impacts on the Environment and Energy requirements. My volunteer role as the Co-Chair of
Humanitarian Technologies at IEEE (Bangalore Section) is focused on education around Green/Renewable Energy based
solutions for Climate Action ( please visit http://climate350.com ).
My day job is as a technology leader at Nutanix on next generation Hybrid Cloud Distributed Manageability
(Prism) for our industry leading and relatively energy efficient HCI (Hyper Converged Infrastructure)
pioneered by Nutanix. My current responsibilities expand into managing and expanding the Prism engineering team in India.
My passion for applying Technology across domains in battling Climate Change helped me disrupt the Electric Mobility
space at SUN Mobility by delivering the world's first Unified Software IoT Edge Compute Platform for Electric Vehicle
Li-Ion Battery Swapping and Charging for Electric Buses, Electric Scooters and Electric Rickshaws. This is
currently deployed in production/trials in India and Sri Lanka.
In addition to the above, I have had the pleasure of being at the heart of many key technology developments,
innovations and disruptions, some of which are listed below:
1. Cisco - Technology leadership in the development of the Serviceability platform for next generation DevOps enabled Webex
Teams, the global market leader for Cloud based Video-Voice Conferencing.
2. DELL - Technology leadership in the development of the iDRAC Embedded Data Center Server Controller with Web Services, an industry first.
3. Infinera - Engineering the distributed Management Plane for DWDM Optical Switches
4. Hughes Networks - Technical Lead for the first Online Distance Learning portal via VSAT Satellite Networks
4. IBM - Software Engineer for the world's first 10 channel DWDM Optical Multiplexer network management offering
My "night-job" is to follow my passion for Mathematics, Physics, Space and Earth Sciences, the Human Impacts of Climate Change, the importance of Ethics and Values in Education and Society to name a few.
