Summary
Sriram Melkote is a seasoned engineering leader with 13+ years of experience building and scaling core database and enterprise systems, now serving as Vice President of Engineering at Uniphore. He combines hands-on proficiency in Golang, C, C++ and Java with a track record of architecting fault-tolerant, scale-out systems and leading large engineering organizations from Couchbase to Google. His strengths span talent strategy, budget and risk management, and operational compliance—skills he applied when setting up Couchbase’s India subsidiary and steering AlloyDB and storage/indexing efforts at Google. Sriram has repeatedly led product-critical initiatives—AI conversation analytics, real-time guidance, and voice agents most recently—bridging deep technical design with product delivery. Less obvious is his pattern of designing rollback-safe, multi-tenant platforms and agentic AI assistants, reflecting both systems depth and a growing focus on AI-enabled product architecture. He holds an MS in Computer Science from UIUC and is based in Bengaluru.
