About Subodh Kulkarni

Seasoned corporate leader with extensive experience in strategic operations, business transformation, and scaling organizations across global markets. As Senior Vice President and COO at JM Baxi Group, I lead high-impact initiatives at the intersection of safety and security solutions, drone technologies, and AI-driven platforms, driving sustainable growth and operational excellence. Over the course of my career, I have built a strong track record of helping mid-sized organizations unlock growth by sharpening strategic direction, improving operational efficiency, and fostering a culture of innovation and adaptability. My approach focuses on aligning talent strategy, capital allocation, and governance frameworks to create resilient, future-ready businesses. Beyond my corporate role, I am deeply engaged in bridging industry and academia. As a Board of Management member for the Department of Physics at the University of Mumbai, I contribute to strengthening research ecosystems and building meaningful industry partnerships. I also work with the Global Institute for IT Management, where I design and deliver digital leadership programs aimed at equipping professionals to navigate complex, technology-driven environments. In board roles, I bring a balanced perspective that combines operational depth with strategic foresight. I am particularly passionate about guiding organizations through change, supporting innovation-led growth, and ensuring strong governance practices that drive long-term value creation. My mission is to leverage my experience to help organizations evolve, scale, and create lasting impact in an increasingly dynamic and technology-driven world.
