In this edition of our Celonis Spotlight, we sat down with Sarang Sahani, Senior Director of Engineering, to learn more about his mission, passion for innovation, and what inspires him outside of work. From building Celonis’ engineering presence in India to exploring cultural heritage with his family, Sarang brings purpose and curiosity to everything he does.
“As the Engineering Leader for Celonis in Bangalore, my mission is clear: to build and scale our engineering presence into a powerhouse of innovation. I'm actively shaping our hiring, onboarding, and enablement processes to ensure every engineer, architect, and manager joining us is set up for success and empowered to deliver.
We're building teams to develop critical modules for the Celonis Process Intelligence platform, with a focus on core platform capabilities, data integration, task mining, and more. What truly excites me is empowering these teams in India to independently drive design, architecture, and delivery.”
“Away from work, I prioritize quality time with my family. My wife, 9-year-old son, and I are avid road trippers, driven by a shared passion for exploring cultural sites and historical monuments, whether it's a full long weekend adventure or a quick day trip.”
“My career journey is rooted in critical product development, with a broad span across no-code process orchestration and automation, core platform engineering, and fintech.
I've had the privilege of leading the development of key modules for an industry-first, cloud-native RPA platform, expertly balancing scalability with usability for both CoE and business users. My experience extends to building and managing diverse teams across platform and business process management areas, where we delivered intelligent automation products, robust SDKs, API and desktop connectors, and innovated a unified alerts and notification system to streamline platform communication.
Most recently, I've been at the forefront of innovation with a GenAI-powered conversational automation product, empowering business users to trigger workflows and access insights through natural language, fundamentally transforming enterprise automation.”
“It was the unique opportunity to build an engineering center from the ground up while working with truly pioneering technology that creates tangible, real-world impact. Celonis isn't just another software company; it's defining and leading the Process Intelligence category.
The ability to "X-ray" how businesses truly operate, uncover hidden inefficiencies, and then actively guide them towards better, more efficient outcomes is incredibly powerful.
My background in product development, especially in intelligent automation and no-code products, has always been about building capabilities to automate complex business processes. Celonis gives an opportunity to view it from the opposite angle—providing unprecedented visibility and the means to drive real, measurable value for global enterprises.
The mission to "make processes work for people, companies, and the planet" deeply resonates with me, and the chance to contribute to this mission by shaping an entire engineering presence from its inception in Bangalore was an unparalleled draw.”
“Our vision is to empower every organization to achieve unprecedented operational excellence and efficiency through process intelligence. Our engineering team will be the driving force behind this vision—building the foundational platform, advanced analytical capabilities, and robust automation features that make it a reality.
We will achieve this by fostering a culture of innovation, technical excellence, customer-centricity, and collaborative problem-solving—ensuring our technology consistently delivers transformative value to businesses worldwide.”
