Experience

1. General Manager Information Technology

   Studio Sonrai Private Limited

   Jun 2025 — Present · Gurugram, IN

   I lead enterprise network and infrastructure architecture across corporate environments, cloud platforms, and distributed project locations.My work sits at the intersection of design, governance, and hands-on execution. I own end-to-end LAN, WAN, wireless, and cloud network architectures, making sure they scale well, stay secure, and remain available when the business needs them most. That includes direct oversight of routing and switching, firewall policies, SD-WAN connectivity, and secure remote access across hybrid and multi-location setups.I manage network operations for Microsoft 365 and other business-critical collaboration platforms, with a strong focus on performance monitoring, incident response, and service reliability. On the cloud side, I handle Azure and Microsoft 365 network dependencies, ensuring clean identity integration, secure access paths, and predictable behavior across environments.I’m deeply involved in DNS, DHCP, and directory-integrated network services, as well as firewall rule reviews, segmentation design, and compliance alignment. I regularly validate network designs from a security-first perspective, balancing control with operational simplicity.Beyond technology, I work closely with global vendors and service providers to deliver upgrades, migrations, and operational improvements. I believe documentation matters, so I maintain clear architecture diagrams, as-built designs, and runbooks that teams can actually use.I also enjoy mentoring teams, helping engineers sharpen their troubleshooting skills and think more securely about network design. Long term, I contribute to technical roadmaps focused on network modernization, cloud connectivity, and automation that reduces operational noise and risk.
