As Head – IT at GATX India, I established the enterprise technology function from inception, transitioning application ownership from US teams and building a scalable, governance-led IT ecosystem. My mandate spans IT strategy, enterprise architecture, SAP and Salesforce modernization, MuleSoft multi-tenant integrations and Azure cloud operations, enabling operational resilience across asset-intensive rail operations.I lead AI, GenAI and data enablement initiatives, including implementation of an enterprise LLM platform integrating SAP, SharePoint and knowledge repositories, improving response time by 30%. I have also designed IoT-enabled telematics and asset intelligence platforms supporting predictive maintenance and new digital revenue streams. As cybersecurity SPOC and Global AI Governance Board member, I strengthened cyber risk frameworks while ensuring compliance across global systems.With full P&L ownership of a large IT budget, I optimized SaaS licensing (reducing MuleSoft cost), internalized cloud capabilities and built a high-performing team of core IT professionals and external partners to drive scalable digital transformation.
