Praful Kabadi — Associate Consultant

I am currently pursuing a PhD at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, specializing in MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems). Previously, I worked as a Senior Engineer at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), where I focused and worked in the Research and Development functions across MedTech, embedded systems, and cloud computing. During my tenure, I contributed to the development of innovative solutions for medical devices, driving new product development and strategies aligned with sustainable technology initiatives. One of my notable projects, the Wireless, Safe, Smart, and Secured Driving System, was recognized and sponsored by KSCST and IISc Bangalore. I have also worked on designing a millimeter-scale planar coil actuator for MEMS applications, a 2.4 GHz patch antenna, and a universal IoT gateway prototype for enterprise cloud connectivity. At TCS, I collaborated with cross-functional teams, managed client relationships, and ensured compliance with international standards such as ISO-13485 and IEC-60601-1. My contributions were recognized with the Technical Excellence Award for innovation and impact. I hold a Master’s in VLSI Design and Embedded Systems from a DRDO-affiliated institute and am passionate about advancing MedTech and electronics for real-world impact, particularly in low-income regions through research, innovation, and collaborative initiatives. I believe in the power of continuous learning, unlearning, and relearning to thrive in an ever-evolving technological landscape. I am always eager to connect with professionals and researchers who share a vision for creating technology that empowers and sustains the future.
