About Abhishek Devra

I enable establishing status quo for AI‑in‑SDLC adoption and measurement across organization\'s engineering environments, to ensure that AI usage is not just implemented — but integrated with engineering systems, measured, governed, and translated into tangible outcomes.With ~15 years of experience across quality engineering, high‑maturity transformations, metrics governance, and sustainability, I specialize in consulting projects that support data‑driven decisions, predictable delivery, and continuous improvement.At Nagarro, I play a key role in defining \"AI adoption\" and impact metrics across SDLC phases—covering utilization, productivity, quality, and cycle‑time improvements—and in enabling teams to track progress through actionable dashboards and insights.I have been a core contributor to multiple CMMI for Development Maturity Level 5 assessments (v1.3, v2.0, v3.0), helping organizations establish statistical control, quantitative project management, and outcome‑focused governance.In parallel, I co-pilot sustainability and ESG initiatives within engineering—supporting renewable energy adoption, ESG ratings improvement (EcoVadis, MSCI, ISS ESG), and alignment with global frameworks such as UNGC and SBTi.
