CDK Global

As Managing Director at CDK Global India or India Site Leader, I led the transformation of our operations into a high-performing Global Capability Center (GCC), delivering mission-critical outcomes across Engineering, Product, IT, HR, Finance, Customer Success, and Facilities. Rooted in the automotive software domain, I championed modernization across cloud, architecture, and performance—ensuring our platforms remained future-ready. I launched several AI-driven initiatives that not only improved productivity and quality but also fostered a culture of AI adoption across teams. By enabling innovation through AI CoEs, reverse engineering, unit testing automation, and prompt engineering practices, we accelerated delivery velocity and solutioning maturity. A firm believer in people strength and organizational culture, I focused on building empowered, cross-functional teams with strong leadership pipelines. My strategic yet hands-on approach helped align execution with long-term business goals, while multiple innovation-led proposals delivered significant cost savings and operational efficiencies. I take pride in shaping a culture that thrives on agility, continuous learning, and ownership—transforming India into a strategic and value-creating global hub for automotive technology.
