Piyush Gupta
Engineering at Scale
Platform engineering, engineering leadership, and autonomous AI tooling.

Engineering manager with 12 years across backend, mobile, and frontend — the last 7 in management. Three chapters define the career.
At Disney+ Hotstar I built real-time messaging infrastructure that served 50M+ concurrent users at sub-second latency — 250 billion messages during the 2019 IPL season — India's biggest sporting event.
Disney vote of confidence: Three of my most senior colleagues from Hotstar — the India CEO, CTO, and SVP Product — personally backed JumpingMinds AI as investors.
In 2021 I co-founded JumpingMinds AI, a mental health platform. Grew from zero to 1M+ users across India, US, UK, and Scandinavia. Google for Startups Accelerator 2022. Wound down by 2024 end.
Today I lead three squads at Slice (15+ engineers) across payments, merchant banking, and digital lending — and I've shipped four AI systems now live org-wide: an AI oncall bot, an OpEx intelligence reporter, a payments onboarding automation, and a managerial AI toolkit.
