April 2026 Winner Anshul Ola, Application Security Engineer |
Elevating Security and AutomationIn less than a year on our Red Team, Anshul Ola has delivered an outsized impact on Coupa’s security posture. Taking ownership of some of our most complex AI modules—including Navi and Agent Studio—Anshul independently conducted rigorous testing across more than 20 features. His proactive vulnerability identification helped secure Agent Studio ahead of its global release. Beyond his core security responsibilities, Anshul showcased a brilliant mindset for process improvement. By developing an automation tool for third-party bug tracking, he reduced the time it takes to log issues from several hours to less than 10 minutes. His ability to balance high-impact security work with operational efficiency makes him an invaluable asset to the Village. |

June 2026 Winner Omkar Chavan, Performance Engineer |
Owning Performance and System StabilityJoining Coupa just a year and a half ago as a campus hire, Omkar Chavan has rapidly established himself as a highly dependable and trusted technical problem-solver. During a recent release cycle, Omkar played a critical role in addressing complex performance engineering challenges. When high memory usage issues were identified, he took complete ownership of the investigation—dedicating his weekends to detailed profiling, root cause analysis, and rigorous validation. His "get-it-done" mindset, technical aptitude, and unwavering commitment to system stability perfectly embody what it means to Own Our Results. |
