ABOUT HARENDRA PATHAK

I specialize in building and scaling engineering organizations that serve as a primary growth engine for the business. At Tesco, I lead the Product Search Platform — a mission-critical system handling 50M+ daily queries and driving £3.5B in annual revenue across five countries. My focus is on transforming complex technical roadmaps into scalable platforms that balance high availability (99.99%) with significant cost efficiency.Having transitioned from a founder to a leader in Fortune 500 environments, I bridge the gap between scrappy innovation and enterprise-grade stability. I have a proven track record of scaling teams from the ground up and managing organizations of 25+ high-performing engineers. By establishing engineering excellence programs, I have successfully improved deployment frequency by 300% and reduced attrition from 18% to 7%.I operate at the intersection of product strategy, technical architecture, and organizational health. Whether driving 200% GMV growth through marketplace expansion or modernizing legacy systems across international markets, I partner deeply with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure technology remains a competitive advantage. I am a multiplier of talent, having mentored over 20 engineers with more than half promoted into senior leadership roles.My approach combines deep technical roots in distributed systems and AI/ML with the strategic mindset required for org-level ownership. I am dedicated to building systems that are not only technically robust but also aligned with long-term business goals and a high-performance culture.
