Lendingkart Group ropes in Mukesh Singh as its CTO

Lendingkart Group has appointed Mukesh Singh, a seasoned engineer with over 17 years of extensive technology experience, as its Chief Technology Officer. This comes at a time when the company is focussing on strengthening its technology stack by prioritizing automation and data engineering to make loan disbursal as quick, convenient and accurate as possible.

At Lendingkart Group, Mukesh’s key responsibilities will include driving strategy and execution of the technology vertical. Majority of his efforts will also be directed at building products and technologies that will make the company ready for massive adoption among India’s 50 million Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMEs).

Harshvardhan Lunia, CEO & Co-Founder, Lendingkart Technologies, said, “We are moving on a large scale towards building technology and innovating to make working capital accessible to SMEs everywhere no matter the geographic remoteness. The company has been successful in reaching out to over 720 cities, but is still scratching the surface when it comes to 50 million SMEs in India. With Mukesh and his engineering expertise on board, we will be scaling more strongly by making automation and data engineering a huge part of the loan disbursal process for increased convenience and speed. Mukesh will be working closely with all functional heads in the company which will help us achieve our goal.”

With operations in over 720 cities and more than 12,000 loans disbursed among 9,500+ SMEs, Lendingkart Group has established a solid foundation of data and analytics. Building innovation based on the insights gathered from the company’s large-scale operations will, therefore, continue to prove critical to its growth in the near future.

Mukesh’s 17 years of experience in software design, development and technology leadership will play a key role in building high performance, scalable software products and platforms for Lendingkart Group. Previously, Mukesh was the Senior Vice-President of Engineering at SirionLabs. He was also the India R&D head for BitzerMobile which was later acquired by Oracle. The newly-appointed CTO comes with vast technology leadership experience at other eminent organizations, including Amazon, Texas Instruments and a number of successful start-ups such as Sipera Systems (acquired by Avaya), etc. Mukesh is currently the owner of four engineering patents and has had a couple of IEEE papers published to his credit.
