The story

Munna Gupta

Sr. Director, Mobile Engineering · Shaadi.com

Finance → Code → Engineering Leader

Started in finance — trading derivatives and managing HNI portfolios at Bombay Capital. Found myself more excited mentoring CS students than executing trades. Made the jump to software in 2011.

Self-taught Java, Python, Django, then went deep on Android. Joined Shaadi.com in 2014 as a senior developer and never left — because the scale of problems grew faster than I could solve them. Today leading mobile engineering across 140+ apps.

Current obsession is AI-augmented engineering — building systems where developers ship 10x faster without sacrificing quality. That is what the AI Lab is about.

"Strong engineering leadership is about building platforms that scale — not just shipping features."

Mentorship

Open for mentorship.

Permanently full-time at Shaadi.com — so I'm not taking consulting, freelance, or new roles. But I do make time to mentor engineers and EMs navigating mobile architecture, platform & CI/CD decisions, AI-augmented workflows, or stepping into engineering leadership. If that's you, drop a line.
