Kaushlesh Kumar

As an experienced engineering leader with over 16 years in the industry, I specialize in leveraging data to develop innovative solutions in predictive and advanced analytics, as well as intelligent automation. Currently serving as Senior Director, Data Science and Head of Applied AI, Data & Analytics at Harman DTS, I have a passion for solving complex problems across various domains including healthcare, finance, retail, and logistics. My expertise encompasses Generative AI, Agentic AI applications, cognitive and predictive analytics, anomaly detection, and computer vision products. I have successfully managed machine learning product offerings on major cloud marketplaces and have led the development of several AI solutions for my organization and its clients. I excel in product vision, strategic roadmap planning, and program management, with a strong ability to set objectives, define ROI, and engage with clients effectively. My background includes a PGDM from IIM Indore and a B.Tech from IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, providing a solid foundation in both management and technical skills. Throughout my career, I have driven significant customer experience and efficiency improvements through innovative AI platforms and solutions. As a boundary-less thinker who values end-to-end thinking and recognizes what adds value versus what adds cost, I am comfortable balancing conflicting priorities and acting as a link between stakeholders. When not working, I love playing with my kids, reading and watching movies. I would love to connect with you all. Feel free to send connection invites and discuss topics of mutual interest. Cheers!
