Rishabh Pugalia is a pragmatic software consultant and technical leader with 13 years of experience designing and scaling full-stack systems across payments, mobility, health, finance and community intelligence. He has led high-impact platforms at Razorpay and Zoomcar—building everything from OLTP/OLAP data lakes, RBAC and authentication gateways to inventory and onboarding products—and now helps startups ship end-to-end products as a founder-like engineer. His toolkit spans Python, Node, React, Kafka, Spark, Airflow, Kubernetes and cloud data warehouses, and he’s comfortable optimizing at engine, application and infra levels (MySQL, Redis, Presto/Redshift/Hudi). Beyond feature work he’s repeatedly tackled hard system problems—DB scalability, streaming at scale and cross-source community intelligence powered by AI—so he often joins early when architectures are ambiguous. Based in Bengaluru, he blends hands-on coding with product thinking and operational rigor, and prefers roles where he can both build from scratch and cleanly scale complex legacy systems.
