At TomTom, we are mapmakers, providing geolocation technology for drivers, carmakers, enterprises and developers. My team’s mission is to build highly accurate maps and deliver them in real time by removing human touch in the map making process with pervasive use of AI/ML, use of open data, feedback loops and contribution from partners & community.I led the Standard Definition Maps teams (200+ FTEs) to deliver location content for Search (POIs, EVs, Geocoding) and Navigation products by leveraging Content Mgmt and Delivery Platforms. I led product engineering and operations unit of multi-million euros operating & capital staff, and technology budgets including global partnerships and service partners. A purposely organisation built for speed, flexibility and innovation by hiring more than 95+ talent including Deep Learning & NLP Engineers.With the goal of better, fresher and cheaper maps, I delivered with my team's re-engineering of the GIS based tools and processes to Software as a Service (SaaS) on 15+ data producing flows. Achieved higher degree of automation using AI/ML and computational geometry, microservices, event driven, observability, etc. on AWS and Azure. I am involved in crafting 1-Year Plan and Long Term Financial Model (LTFM), technology roadmaps to set purpose and direction, including identifying new investment areas and funding innovation to have product led growth. Product prioritisation is based on user experience metrics (availability, freshness, geo accuracy etc.) considering where users are and what they do through Navigation applications.Led the key strategies on Automation KPI, End User Metrics and Unified Architecture by transforming the organization towards data orientedness and automation first mindset. Outcome is improved user experience, top line and bottom line for TomTom’s Consumer, Enterprise, and OEM Automotive businesses with a total user base of 800+ million customers and annual revenue of ~700 million euros p.a.

At HERE, our mission is to enable a digital representation of reality to radically improve the way the world moves, lives and interacts. I led multiple teams (80-125 engineers) of empowered product teams, self-organized and self-directed scrum teams within core map engineering having accountability and responsibility of building new products like HERE Lanes (Lanes everywhere and ADAS), HERE Road Sign Service using SDO, Natural Guidance, Outdoor, LiDAR As A Service etc., enterprise product formats, building validation rules for map features with complex algorithms, instrumentation and computer assisted web tools for digitization of maps. In 2018, I started on a mission to “Automate Creation of Location Content Without Human Touch” with multiple teams of Deep Learning Scientists, ML Engineers, Computer Vision experts, Cloud and Big Data Engineers, focused on developing state-of-the-art map attribute extraction and confirmation techniques from sources like Satellite Imagery, Aerial Imagery, Street Level Imagery, SDO, probe and dashcam, to generate map content and layers. Goal was to achieve a high degree of automation (both high recall and high precision) with KPI of 80% (actuals is 75%) and deliver innovative capabilities on parking lot geometry, Incremental training (save cost and time), data augmentation to accelerate labeled data sets, contextual text extraction from imagery etc. I am providing strategic execution (Engineering, Technology, Innovation & Research) and vision/roadmap for building next generation location content creation tools/products, processes, and platform by using relevant modern technology stack. This results in growing top line and bottom line while spearheading operational improvements to drive productivity, operational efficiency and reduce costs. We were multicultural and a global experience teams generating 1B+ in revenue to become #1 location technology company.

Apart from above responsibilities on business side, I am working as a site leader.I headed the Engineering Center in India for HERE Technologies and grew their Mumbai center to 600+ engineers (from 175+), specializing in niche and cutting-edge technologies. I also built a data science team from 0 to 1 consisting of 40+ engineers in the area of deep neural nets, computer vision and NLP through an internal up skilling program and external hiring. I worked over 6 years as site leader to make HERE Mumbai as a world class Engineering Center by having consistent employee experience, increasing the pace of innovation and IP, raising the bar of talent and leveraging co-location with the production center. This also led to recognition of HERE India as Great Place to Work (GPTW) in top 50 and at 17 in best technology company to work for in India (2018). I am working with HERE’s world class production center in Mumbai to leverage co-location in order to upskill, co-innovate and co-hack the location solutions by acting as mentor and sponsor for many of the programs. Also worked with IT and HR processes to bring synergy and automation with business units. I pragmatically worked towards HERE brand building, brand recognition, and hiring the top engineering talent by leading the various initiatives which includes hackathons with Techgig and Hacker Earth, engaging with startups in Mumbai for adoption of HERE XYZ platform and collaborating with NASSCOM via industry partnership program, 10K startups, and big data and analytics special interest group.
