Hi Pulkit,
First it would be a good idea to get on the pgrouting-dev list:
pgrouting-dev mailing list
pgrouting-dev at lists.osgeo.org
http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/pgrouting-dev
Then you can look at:
https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/wiki/Developer---Getting-Started
and the other links here:
https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/wiki
http://pgrouting.org/ -- look at the user docs and the new workshop
There are a bunch of people on the list that can help
Thanks,
-Steve
