Rohith Sankepally is an engineering leader with 11 years of experience, currently serving as Associate Vice President, Engineering at Sprinklr after a rapid progression through senior technical and management roles. He blends hands-on expertise in big data, distributed systems, microservices and AI with product-focused delivery, frequently adopting new technologies into production. His open-source work includes implementing graph contraction algorithms in the widely used pgRouting library, reflecting deep algorithmic and C/C++ systems skills beyond typical cloud-native stacks. A researcher by training (MS by Research, IIIT Hyderabad) who has mentored in Google Summer of Code, Rohith combines academic rigor with practical impact—building scalable systems that accelerate core query performance and customer-facing products. Based in Hyderabad, he’s as comfortable designing low-level graph algorithms as he is leading cross-functional engineering teams.
