About KP
I have been in the technology space for 25 years, working on cutting-edge R&D and New Product Development in the Automotive, Industrials and Aerospace domains. Working at the intersection of technologies and business has always been my passion. I constantly strive for exploring ways that technologies can add more value to customer and business. I firmly believe in Continuous Learning, looking for Innovation in Product & Process and Adapting to Change.
I am a SAFe® SPC5 Program Consultant. I have had the opportunity to work in some leading companies like Mercedes-Benz, TATA Group, Delphi / Aptiv Automotive and TEREX.
I have led several New Product Development, Platform Development, Digital Manufacturing and Global Sourcing Initiatives. I relentlessly focus on adding value to our clients in their quest for applying Technology Solutions and new improved ways of running their business.
Occasionally, I try my hands in Python programming for Machine Learning and AI Applications. I enjoy reading books and business articles, technology articles and fiction in English and Kannada.
