Vishal D Kelkar — CEO
I am a global technology and delivery leader with 26+ years of experience driving large-scale digital and AI transformations across BFSI and capital markets. Currently, I serve as Senior Vice President – Engineering at CyberMeru Technologies, where I built and lead the AI & Engineering Practice, delivering Agentic AI and Small Language Model (SLM) solutions across recruitment, CX automation, and enterprise productivity. I am also driving overall tech delivery excellence including cybersecurity. My focus is on taking GenAI beyond pilots—into secure, scalable, ROI-driven enterprise adoption with real time outcomes. Over my career, I have built and scaled global engineering organizations of 350+ professionals, managed $30M+ annual delivery portfolios, and delivered 100+ mission-critical applications across NA, EMEA, and APAC. I have consistently driven 30–50% productivity gains through AI-led modernization, cloud migration, and Agile transformation. Previously, I led global regulatory reporting and post-trade platforms at BNP Paribas, partnering with CIO leadership to modernize 100+ applications, deliver zero-downtime cloud migrations, and deploy LLM-powered knowledge systems that reduced on-boarding time by 50%. Earlier roles at JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America involved building high-availability platforms, saving $12M annually through engineering innovation, and achieving 99.99% production stability. I am the inventor on 3 U.S. patents in self-learning and self-healing systems and have mentored 40+ innovation filings across AI and automation. I am a certified Agile leader and coach who loves helping organizations transform tier delivery and agility. Coached more than 2000 people on Agile ( SCRUM/KANBAN/SAFe) I am passionate about building high-performance global teams, establishing greenfield GCCs, and helping enterprises adopt AI responsibly—balancing innovation, governance, and measurable business value.
