About Siddarth Gupta

I lead end-to-end R&D to deliver breakthrough products that combine AI, software, and engineered systems—built to ship, scale, and create defensible IP.I’m leading the R&D at Lenskart, product innovation across hardware, software, and AI-driven experiences. My focus is developing groundbreaking solutions that fuse AI with engineered systems—turning research into real products that scale reliably, perform consistently, and create measurable customer impact. A key part of my mandate is building an IP-first pipeline across innovations, so breakthroughs compound into long-term advantage.Across 7+ years, I’ve delivered 30+ products and designed 200+ components, owning the full lifecycle—from problem framing and system architecture to CAD, prototyping, validation, industrialization, and supplier onboarding. I’m known for solving high-constraint engineering problems with clarity and speed, while balancing performance, cost, manufacturability, and timelines.Core strengths:Cross-domain R&D leadership across AI + hardware + softwareSystem design and rapid experimentation to de-risk early and iterate fast3D CAD, FEA, DFM/DFA, tolerance engineering for production-ready buildsValidation-first development with disciplined testing and quality thinkingMaterials, suppliers, and scale-up execution to deliver at factory realityIP creation and technical storytelling that turns innovation into defensible advantageEducation: M.Sc. Automotive Engineering | B.E. Mechanical EngineeringFormer cricketer: represented Jammu & Kashmir (India) and North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany)—bringing resilience, strategy, and team-first leadership to every build.
