Summary
Ankit Arora is a founder and seasoned engineering leader with nine years of hands-on experience building cloud-native infrastructure, developer tooling, and product-first startups. He’s been part of founding teams at CleverTap, Dezerv, and Nykaa, and now leads Deployment.io and SupportEngineer AI, focused on a future where coding agents write most code. With a background in DevOps and Linux/cloud operations, he combines deep infrastructure know-how with product sensibility—having repeatedly built companies from zero to scale. He pairs technical breadth (MS in EE, React nanodegree) with business training from Harvard Business School Online, enabling him to bridge rapid prototyping and disciplined engineering. A detail that often goes unnoticed: he has consistently moved between hands-on platform engineering and strategic founding roles, which lets him design systems that are both operable and market-ready.
