Vice President - Head of Engineering

Company Description Provlo is a verified second brain for government officers. It holds a Ministry’s schemes, guidelines, statistics, Parliament records and field reports as a single structured record, where every figure carries its source and its date, and where a laid Parliament answer outranks an internal deck.On that record, Provlo runs AI agents that do the work itself: pull the right figures, reconcile them across sources, test a scheme against its own guidelines, build a review brief, or answer a question the way the Ministry has already answered it in the House. When the work has to become a document, the agents produce it in the exact Government of India format, from a file noting to a Parliamentary Question reply, in line with CSMOP, the Lok Sabha manuals and the RTI Act, 2005.Role Description The VP of Engineering owns delivery.
