I am Manish Punia, an Engineering Manager at Paytm with 12 years of experience in software engineering.
I started as a software developer and have been building software since 2014. Over the years, my work has grown from hands-on engineering into engineering leadership: helping teams execute better, keep technical quality visible, mentor developers, and ship product work with ownership.
At Paytm, I work at the intersection of engineering execution, product delivery, system quality, and team growth.
I care about clear communication, reliable systems, thoughtful code reviews, strong ownership, and building teams where engineers can do meaningful work without unnecessary noise.
Outside work, I like to read non-fiction, biographies, real-life accounts, and the occasional technical book. I use this site for software notes, book reviews, and thoughts that deserve a little more space than a social post.
