Why Checkout.com?
What initially drew Varun to Checkout was the sheer breadth and complexity of the technology behind card processing. The opportunity to be part of something so impactful, was something that he couldn’t pass up.
Since joining, that curiosity has only deepened. “For every one thing I learn, there are three more I want to understand,” he shares.
For Varun, it’s not just about keeping up - it’s about staying curious, embracing the unknown, and finding joy in the ongoing journey of learning.
Whether it's diving into new technologies, exchanging knowledge with teammates, or embracing challenges, Varun is constantly evolving both technically and personally.
Beyond work, Varun’s love for reading and research is a natural extension of his curiosity. He enjoys reading and seeking out topics that broaden his worldview. Cooking is another space where Varun expresses creativity. For him, this is a space where he can try new techniques, learn from mistakes and enjoy the process as much as the result. In every aspect of life, Varun brings intention, curiosity and a passion for continuous growth.
Adapting Along the Way
Varun embodies the operating principle #BetterEveryDay. One of the most exciting and challenging initiatives he’s recently taken on, involved working with an entirely new tech stack - Kafka, Apache Flink, and Kubernetes. With no prior experience in these technologies, the learning curve was steep, but also incredibly rewarding. What made the experience especially meaningful was the strong collaboration across teams. Everyone was learning together, sharing insights, and adapting along the way.
For Varun, it was a clear reflection of what it means to grow through doing - improving day by day. The project also proved #NeverGiveUp, as the team pushed through challenges with resilience, always focused on delivering something great.

#BetterEveryDay
A personal mantra Varun holds close is, “A curious mind is forever on an odyssey.” It’s this curiosity that fuels his drive to keep improving.
He believes that every day brings a chance to learn something new, sharpen a skill, or find a better way forward. “In my work, I embrace challenges and actively look for ways to improve processes - whether that’s through exploring new technologies or learning from those around me.”
