Delhi, India
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKanav Arora is an experienced engineering leader with 11 years building product-driven platforms and scaling mobile and web teams, now serving as SVP Engineering at Urban Company in Delhi. He has grown through hands-on roles from founding-member full-stack work and game development to leading large engineering organizations that structure an unstructured services market. Known for shipping high-impact consumer products—ranging from Pocket Gems’ War Dragons to Urban Company’s tech-enabled services platform—he blends product intuition, performance-minded engineering, and metrics-driven delivery. He holds a BS in EECS from UC Berkeley and brings a mix of startup grit and enterprise discipline, including patented work on intelligent input systems from his Microsoft tenure. A less obvious strength is his early full-stack and backend systems experience (Clojure, scraping, email pipelines) that informs pragmatic architectural choices at scale. He actively hires and mentors SDEs, EMs, and architects to build lean, high-velocity teams.
