New Delhi: In a bid to augment its cloud platform and technology operations, e-commerce major Snapdeal is planning to double the strength of technology team to 2,000 by the year-end and has appointed Gaurav Gupta as vice-president engineering.

In his new role, Gupta will spearhead the company’s cloud platform and technology infrastructure, Snapdeal said in a statement. Gupta comes with over 13 years of experience across firms like Cisco, Symantec, CloudVelox, Vontu and Neopath networks.
