Darpan Ganesh Shet
I run QA the way release engineers run pipelines — with checkpoints, ownership, and visibility at every stage. From PlayStation titles to Flipkart's Big Billion Days, my job is making sure the release date isn't a gamble.
About
I've spent over a decade in QA — starting on console titles for Sony's PlayStation studios, moving through social and mobile gaming at Zynga and MPL, and now leading QA governance for large-scale e-commerce and logistics platforms as Associate Lead ET at Moolya Software Testing.
My work sits between process and people: SOW preparation, KT planning, sprint ceremonies, onboarding new engineers into live projects, and keeping defect management disciplined enough that release day isn't a surprise. Recently, that's extended into AI Quality Engineering — evaluating GenAI testing tools, training them on real product knowledge bases, and validating their output before it reaches production.

Flipkart — QA Governance & Release Management
- Owned QA governance end-to-end: SOW preparation, KT planning, and structured weekly health reporting for the client.
- Onboarded 10+ new team members into a live, high-throughput project and ran client governance meetings.
- Implemented AI-assisted regression optimization using the Maestro framework, cutting manual regression effort by ~40% while holding coverage on critical journeys.
- Pruned and consolidated the regression suite from 1,000+ test cases to ~800 high-value tests.
- Covered release-critical features — One Click payments, coupons, SSR/SEO checks, UI revamps — and ran bug bashes ahead of Big Billion Days and Independence Day Sale.
FleetPanda — Cross-Platform & Hardware QA
- Validated end-to-end workflows from order creation through back-office billing across the dispatch portal.
- Verified real-time sync between the driver mobile app and web dispatch portal through comprehensive order testing.
- Ran cross-device testing connecting LCR meters and Pandabox hardware to the application to confirm compatibility.
- Evaluated TestPert and Bugasura for AI Quality Engineering — training TestPert on PRDs, mindmaps, and designs, then validating AI-generated test cases for coverage, hallucination, and duplication.
Console & mobile gaming QA, 2013–2021 — functional, regression, and multiplayer testing on PlayStation titles including Minecraft, Detroit: Become Human, and Little Big Planet 3 at Sony India Software Centre, plus live-ops testing for Zynga (FarmVille2) and MPL's mobile gaming platform.
