The People Behind SCOPE Group's Vision

Three decades of power sector expertise, guided by a leadership team that built
India's most comprehensive energy engineering group.

SCOPE Group was founded on a simple conviction: Engineering Precision. Powering Reliability. Since 1988, our leadership team has grown that conviction into a group of three specialised verticals: VALIDATE (test and measurement), RUN (infrastructure intelligence platform), and SUSTAIN (substation lifecycle services) serving utilities, EPC’s, contractors, and across 60+ countries. The individuals below are the architects of that journey.

Sanjay Kulkarni

CHAIRMAN
- SCOPE Group

Sanjay C. Kulkarni began his career as an Application Engineer at the Eutectic Division of Larsen & Toubro, spending eight years embedded in demanding industrial environments - Power, Steel, Mining, Metal, Foundry & Forge, Sugar, Cement, Defence, Paper & Pulp. That field experience gave him an engineer's eye for what measurements really matter when high-voltage systems are at stake.

On 13 January 1988 he co-founded SCOPE T&M Pvt. Ltd. with a guiding principle that has never changed: “Simple Solutions for Difficult Measurements.” Starting as Director–Marketing, he built SCOPE's national dealer network and its international distribution presence.

As Chairman, Mr. Kulkarni steers SCOPE Group's long-term strategy across all three verticals. He currently serves as Chairman of the Test & Measurement division constituted under IEEMA.

SWati Kulkarni

DIRECTOR

Swati Kulkarni brings over 20 years of corporate relationship management experience to the SCOPE Group Board. Her career was built at New India Assurance Company Ltd., where she managed a wide portfolio of corporate insurance accounts. Her background in Statistics from Bombay University gave her the analytical discipline that underpins her strategic approach.

After taking voluntary retirement she joined SCOPE Group's Board, where her mandate spans two areas foundational to the group's long-term strength: people development and global commercial relationships. She oversees employee training programmes and manages the group's international dealer network.

As Chairperson of the CSR Committee, Mrs. Kulkarni leads the company's commitment to community and industry responsibility.
