Pratheek Vinod Kumar

I am a passionate problem solver with over 10 years of experience across multiple industries. My focus areas and skillsets are around product innovation, business strategy and technology. I have had the privilege of both, building teams from the ground up as well as engaging CXOs of global enterprises on strategic initiatives with tangible impact on business goals. I'm proficient with most product and business capabilities such as business model design, business capability mapping, service design, value stream analysis and value-based prioritisation. I have a knack for simplifying complex concepts into simple narratives with first principles thinking and storytelling.

After having built and sold a successful and profitable startup, I joined Thoughtworks in 2020. My entrepreneurial experience began in college, with a startup that grew to an India-wide operation called iService. The industry leading after-sales service solution for gadgets across multiple brands evolved into a cash-positive operation and more importantly, a software platform that delivered superlative customer experiences. In 2018, Servify, the authorised service partner for multiple OEMs like Apple, Samsung, OnePlus, Godrej, Croma, etc. acqui-hired my startup. And, I played the role of Principal Product Officer for almost three years before joining Thoughtworks.
 

Outside of work, I am an avid reader of all things technology. I am a rescue diver, amateur musician and gamer. I love traveling and seize any opportunity to discover new cultures and environments – a trait I picked up during college and being a part of AIESEC India where I was National Head of Learning and Development
