 Why this site exists

I write about what I actually see in the field, not what vendor decks say should be happening. After 20 years working across telecom, OTT platforms, and enterprise AI programs, I’ve built a clear point of view on what works, what fails, and why. TelcomEdge is where I put that thinking in writing — for telecom leaders, platform architects, and enterprise AI practitioners who want substance over hype.

What I do

I lead platform engineering and AI programs at scale — translating complex technology into measurable business outcomes. My work spans field operations platforms, event-driven architectures, and enterprise AI delivery across telecom and OTT. Beyond my day role, I advise early-stage startups on platform strategy and AI adoption, and contribute to NASSCOM as a thought leader in the DeepTech Mentor Network.
