About Vikram Kulkarni

With over 9 years of work experience in diverse fields and industries, I have developed a versatile set of skills and competencies that enable me to excel as an Operations Manager at WorkIndia. My mission is to deliver high-quality solutions and services to our clients and candidates and to create a positive impact in the IT and non-IT sectors. I have a strong background in marketing, sales, and account management, and I enjoy working with cross-functional and cross-cultural teams to achieve common goals and objectives.As an Operations Manager at WorkIndia, I am responsible for leading and managing three cross-vertical teams of 5 – 30 members each, covering various aspects of the business from business development to sourcing candidates. I have successfully executed a pilot program involving interns cross country, which improved our deliverance vs. expenditure ratio. I have also facilitated a new technique of assigning profiles to different sourcing team members based on the difficulty in sourcing, which reduced our fulfillment time from 15 days to 9 days. Additionally, I oversee the process P&L, which includes manpower planning, client acquisition, and profile sourcing. Some of the key skills that I use in my role are key account management, business management, and key account relationship building.
