About Urmila Kulkarni
I work at the intersection of strategy, people, and transformation.With over 30 years of global HR leadership experience across organizations such as Telstra and Mercedes-Benz, I partner with Boards, CXOs, founders, and growth-stage enterprises to align people strategy with business ambition.My work spans three interconnected domains:1⃣ Enterprise HR & Business Transformation I have led large-scale HR transformation programs, built high-performing leadership teams, strengthened governance frameworks, and delivered measurable impact across cost, engagement, and customer outcomes. At Telstra India, the HR transformation journey became a global case study for operational excellence and business alignment.2⃣Virtual CHRO for Growth Organizations For SMEs and scaling businesses, I serve as a strategic HR advisor — building foundational systems, culture architecture, leadership capability, and future-ready talent strategy without the overhead of a full-time CHRO.3⃣Executive & Leadership Coaching I work with senior leaders navigating complexity, ambiguity, and transition. My coaching philosophy is simple: Clarity creates confidence. Confidence drives decisive action. And sustained action creates transformation.Across industries - Technology, BFSI, Manufacturing, Telecommunications — my approach remains consistent:• Strategic, not reactive• Governance-aligned, not ad-hoc• Human-centered, not policy-driven• Long-term value creation over short-term fixesI believe organizations do not transform because structures change. They transform when leaders evolve.If you are a Board member, CXO, founder, or senior leader seeking strategic clarity, cultural strength, or leadership depth - I’d be glad to connect.
