About

Mukundan is a Digital Twin and Physical AI leader at NVIDIA, working at the intersection of simulation, robotics, and generative AI to help enterprises build and operate intelligent, real-world systems. He partners with global system integrators and Fortune 500 companies to design and scale industrial digital twins powered by NVIDIA’s accelerated stack — including Omniverse, Isaac, Metropolis, NeMo, and Riva — with a strong focus on OpenUSD as the foundation for interoperable 3D workflows and physical AI applications. With nearly two decades of experience across real-time 3D, simulation, computer vision, and AI, Mukundan brings a rare blend of depth across domains — from factory-scale digital twins and virtual commissioning to robotics simulation, VFX pipelines, and cloud-native AI deployment. Prior to NVIDIA, he built immersive simulation platforms in a startup environment and later worked with Boston Consulting Group, advising global manufacturers and public sector organizations on AI and digital transformation — combining hands-on execution with enterprise-scale strategy. His work today is centered on advancing the adoption of Physical AI — enabling developers and enterprises to move from static digital twins to closed-loop, AI-driven systems that perceive, simulate, and act in the real world.

I work with Global Systems Integrators to accelerate their journey with NVIDIA technologies — from Omniverse, Isaac Sim, OpenUSD to Generative AI platforms. My role sits at the intersection of technology and partnerships:
Enablement – Building and running structured learning programs that ramp GSI teams on NVIDIA software stacks.
Co-Innovation – Working with partner engineering and solution teams to bring NVIDIA’s latest breakthroughs into real customer use cases.
Ecosystem Growth – Driving adoption by equipping sales and pre-sales leaders with the right narratives, training, and collateral to scale NVIDIA solutions worldwide.
At its core, my job is about translating deep tech into partner impact — ensuring GSIs are not just adopting NVIDIA AI & Omniverse, but shaping the future of digital twins, physical AI, and enterprise GenAI for the enterprise customers.
