As President and CEO of FANUC India, a subsidiary of Japanese FANUC Corp. and India’s runaway market leader in industrial robots, Kulkarni oversees sales, marketing and business development for products, including CNC (computer numerical control), robots, robo-machines and system integration. An MBA from Ohio State University, she previously worked as a financial analyst in the US. Clearly, being the great-granddaughter of Mahatma Gandhi is not the only thing that defines her. G.E.T.
