๐ Hi, Iโm Utsav Kesharwani. I work as an Engineering Manager for Apollo.io. I'm based out of Mumbai, India.
-
Before joining Apollo.io, in the last decade, I'd the opportunity to work in a few super awesome orgs like:
- BrowserStack (providing browser as a service)
- QuantInsti (creating an ecosystem of Products for Algo Trading)
- BookMyShow (India's #1 ticket booking platform)
-
And in these cool orgs, had a chance to work with amazing folks, expert mentors to carry out some of the high-scale planning and execution oriented projects like Migrating BookMyShow's infra from on-prem to Cloud.
-
๐ My approach to solving complex problems is approaching incrementally, re-iterate, keep moving the business forward and eventually create the cleanest solution. After all, what's the only way to eat an elephant?
-
I appreciate for honest, direct & polite conversations instead of the sugar-coated ones.
-
This is how I prefer to communicate and expect the same in return.
-
One of my previous managers adviced me, "when in doubt, just pick-up the damn phone and speak ๐". In case of confusion, overcommunicate. This is something that just helps!
-
๐ซ You can buzz me on Slack, or email me at [email protected]. Let's just do a quick Huddle or Meet or Zoom whenever needed (as per mutual timezone availability).
-
Please don't ever hesitate to schedule a tea/coffee chat, brainstorming session, or anything else with me.
-
As a techy, I'm passionate about creating solutions that solve problem(s). And enjoy being in the company of ambitious folks who have the same zeal.
-
As a manager, I'm awed by the concept of becoming a servant leader, and that's where I aim to improve.
-
As an individual (and as a investor in stocks), I believe the power of compounding, and hence follow the mantra of Atomic Habits to become better day-by-day.
-
As a friend and buddy, love chatting on anything. I try to listen keenly and you'll have my undisturbed attention.
-
Let's aim to make the meetings productive as much as possible by following but not limiting to these three rules established by Jeff Bezos at Amazon.
-
One of my previous managers adviced me regarding time punctuality, "If you cannot be on time, be early". โฐ
- If you've accepted a meeting invite, I would prefer to start & end it on time. โณ
- Alternatively, if you won't be make it to the meeting, please decline upfront (adding a reason helps). Additionally, do suggest alternative time-slot.
