About Abhishek Dhillon

Technology leader with 15 years of experience building and scaling products and engineering teams across fintech, marketplaces, and consumer platforms. Previously Engineering Manager at Razorpay and OYO, and Director of Engineering / Consulting CTO in early-stage startups — leading large teams, architecting scalable systems, and driving execution across the full product lifecycle. Over the past couple of years, I’ve worked independently as a software consultant on production systems for international and Indian companies, contributed to early-stage products, and remained hands-on with architecture and delivery. Alongside this, I’ve been involved in real estate development and self-directed investing, expanding my perspective beyond engineering into business and capital allocation. Interested in building and backing thoughtful products, working with strong teams, and solving real problems with long-term impact.
