Under his guidance, teams leverage Agile methodologies like Scrum to drive innovation and maintain high standards of software documentation and quality assurance. Rohit’s commitment to excellence and his strategic vision continue to make a significant impact on eBay’s operations, positioning the company for sustained growth in the ever-evolving digital commerce landscape.
