As India Lead, I was responsible for the Pune center. I managed the product and support teams includingHR, recruitment, Accounts, Finance, Legal (compliance), Facilities. In my tenure, I transitioned a social app from a company in UK to India. We inherited the cloud infrastructure that was built by this company on AWS. The first order of business was to bring down the cost of this infrastructure by right sizing it. The product takeover was very hostile and hence we did not get any support… Show more As India Lead, I was responsible for the Pune center. I managed the product and support teams includingHR, recruitment, Accounts, Finance, Legal (compliance), Facilities. In my tenure, I transitioned a social app from a company in UK to India. We inherited the cloud infrastructure that was built by this company on AWS. The first order of business was to bring down the cost of this infrastructure by right sizing it. The product takeover was very hostile and hence we did not get any support from the team that built this infrastructure. We had a task of understanding the environment, optimizing it without disturbing the existing beta customers. We had one junior DevOps engineer and I actively helped him achieve this task.I lead the team to define and implement the processes for ISO 27001 certification till successful internalaudit.
