The True Key Person of #BornGlobal: The Real Story of the CTO Who Built One of India's Leading Tech Teams in Three Years
“Pets are family members.” For Shiv Whorra, CTO of A'ALDA, this phrase is not just an ideal but a daily driving force.
Having gotten his first dog on his seventh birthday, Shiv grew up surrounded by various pets, nurturing a deep love for them since childhood. Since then, pets have become an indispensable part of his life.
After building his career at a silverware retail chain and educational institutions, Shiv joined A'ALDA in 2020. Meeting the founders who shared his passion for the pet industry significantly changed his life.
As the CTO of A'ALDA, he strives daily to bring technology to the veterinary industry. From scratch, he established animal hospitals in India and built the technical foundation.
He has faced the challenge of maintaining high-quality veterinary care while adapting to local cultures. Though securing top talent was challenging, he prioritized high aspirations and teamwork in hiring, building a strong development team unique to A'ALDA.
Shiv, who built a development team from scratch, shares his journey, what he values in engineering recruitment, and his efforts towards “digitization” that revolutionizes pet health management using medical data.
