Rohit Agarwal
Engineering Manager at DriveX · Bangalore

I lead consumer engineering at DriveX, where my team of 12 builds everything from India's first WhatsApp-native auction platform to dealer management tools and consumer marketplaces. On the side, I build AI-powered tools and write about engineering leadership, shipping fast, and AI/ML.

Before DriveX, I took Clootrack from MVP to 100+ enterprise clients, built real-time fintech systems for HDFC and Standard Chartered at Reward360, and was the founding engineer at Epic One where I shipped the Bangalore International Airport rewards app from scratch. (full story)
