I lead the core payments engineering team at Razorpay. Before this, I spent 6 years at Flipkart and 3 years at a Series-A startup that got acquired. I have interviewed 300+ engineers and mentored 40+ into their first tech role. My style: brutally honest, deeply structured, no fluff.

“Aarav rebuilt my system design fundamentals in 6 sessions. Cracked Uber and Swiggy in the same month.”
