BIO
Co-founder and CTO at Byte Kitchen. Prior to Byte Kitchen, I co-founded a tech-enabled real estate startup. I have experience building and shipping products through my work at IBM Watson and Mphasis (HP and Blackstone portco). I graduated from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) and later received my MBA from Indian Institute of Management (IIM). I am excited to develop products that allow restaurants to operate with an efficiency previously only accessible to giant chains
