About Ramesh

I am principal consultant and help organizations achieve engineering excellence and sustainable agility through customized, context-driven frameworks. With over 40 years of experience—including two decades in software product development and two decades in manufacturing—I bring a rare "systems thinking" perspective to enterprise transformation.

My career began in R&D at Tata Motors and Lean transformation at L&T. This foundational experience in industrial operational excellence became the catalyst for my transition into software leadership.

Scaling GCCs: During my 16-year tenure at GE India Technology Center (transitioning through GXS and OpenText), I held senior leadership roles, established the Quality organization, and scaled the India Global Capability Center (GCC) while maintaining industry-leading retention.

Agile Evangelism: As the first Agile Coach and Evangelist at GXS, I partnered with leadership to shape global strategies. Later, at Standard Chartered Bank (Kuala Lumpur), I spent four years embedding new ways of working across complex technology landscapes.

I combine technical rigor with a human-centric approach to leadership. My work is supported by my deep credentials: MS in Software, PG Management diplomas, and certifications including CSM, CSP, and SPC. Years of Yoga and Heartfulness Meditation provide the clarity and balance essential for navigating high-stakes organizational change.teams and facilitating Scaled Agile Model –across teams in multiple geographies. I worked as a consultant for the Agile Transformation group for 4 years at Standard Chartered Bank, Kuala Lumpur helping teams and teams of teams to adopt to the new ways of working – from Technology teams, Retail Teams to Data and Privacy teams.
