Kumar Kanishka Dey
I am a Mechatronics Engineer from Jamshedpur, earning my degree from KIIT University. My passion for innovation started early during my tenure in the Aeronautical Society, which flamed into an undergraduate research project on a smart warehouse robot that took my team to the National Finals of the Flipkart Grid Robotics challenge among 9,000 participants. After graduating, I spent nearly four years at DXC Technology, where I led a team that successfully connected various software tools to better protect the company's systems from online threats. I have also won an award for building security automation solutions that significantly improved our overall security processes. As a management candidate at XLRI Jamshedpur, I aim to combine my background in technology with business leadership to help organisations successfully navigate digital transformations.
