Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolParam Aggarwal is a seasoned engineering leader and early-stage engineer with 12 years of experience based in Bengaluru, now building at a stealth startup after senior roles at Groww and cult.fit. He blends hands-on mobile engineering and product leadership—most notably migrating Groww’s Mutual Funds stack to React Native and driving a 3x conversion lift by switching external fund imports from email to phone. He scaled Cult Live from 1K to 80K paying customers, fixed critical performance and Chromecast issues, and as a founding engineer at Craftworks built three products including a Go-based live-trivia system for 5k concurrent players. At Myntra he pioneered React Native adoption and shipped the first iOS prototype that later contributed 22% of revenue. An active open-source contributor, he’s fixed iOS ScrollView and sharing crashes in the React Native repo and improved UX in projects like react-dropzone, and he pairs delivery rigor (RCAs, frequent deployments) with pragmatic tooling choices such as no-code internal platforms.
