Hi, I'm Manohar 👋

VP, Data Engineering — two decades building software, data and AI. Founder with two exits, still hands-on with code, and playing with AI almost every day to build and ship.

What I do

• 🏗️ Lead engineering end-to-end at Racanaa, an energy-tech startup in Bengaluru — development, quality, DevOps, security, and the IT ops that keep a startup standing.
• 🤖 Build with AI daily — pairing with LLMs to prototype, test and ship faster.
• 🚀 Founded and sold companies; led teams through a full stack of engineering problems across ~20 years.
• 📊 Depth in data engineering, cloud, and turning messy systems into things that scale.

Away from the screen

• 📷 Making photographs since 1996.
• 🚗 Any excuse for a road trip through the mountains.
• 🏔️ Reviving our ancestral home in the Almora hills as a mountain homestay.
