About Ravish Kumar
I lead Business Development, Strategic Investments & Ventures for India & South Asia at IBM, focusing on driving growth across hybrid cloud, AI, and enterprise transformation. My work involves shaping strategic partnerships across enterprises, government, and the venture ecosystem, and unlocking new opportunities through venture- and investment-led approaches.Prior to this, I spent over a decade at Google, where I worked across Technical Services, Large Customer Sales, and Strategic Partnerships. Most recently, I helped build and scale Google’s engagement with venture capital and startup ecosystems in India, working closely with leading VCs, private equity firms, and high-growth AI and enterprise startups to build and scale strategic initiatives.I’m particularly interested in how AI and capital come together to shape the next phase of enterprise and economic growth.
