Four decades of power sector expertise, guided by a leadership team that built India’s
most comprehensive energy ecosystem.
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, Mr. Kulkarni 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 sales and marketing team
within India & dealer network for international business, laying the commercial foundation for a company that now reaches 60+ countries.
As Chairman, Mr. Kulkarni now steers SCOPE Group’s long-term strategy across
all three verticals — VALIDATE, RUN, and SUSTAIN — with a focus on becoming
the power sector’s single partner for asset life-cycle through test and
measurement, protection and automation, and field commissioning services. He
brings over 35 years of sales, marketing,
and business development expertise to that mission.
Mr. Kulkarni currently serves as the Chairman of the Western Region Committee
constituted under IEEMA
(Indian Electrical and Electronics Manufacturers’ Association).
Akshat Kulkarni
co-founded OrxaGrid in 2017 with a clear
mission: to give every person on the planet access to sustainable, affordable,
and reliable energy. As Managing Director of SCOPE Group and the driving
commercial force behind the RUN vertical, he leads the group’s push into grid
intelligence, IoT-enabled asset monitoring, and machine-learning-powered
analytics for energy networks.
Under his leadership, OrxaGrid developed an award-winning suite of IoT sensors
and an analytics platform that helps utilities increase energy efficiency,
optimise grid assets, and reduce power outages — technology now deployed in
energy companies across
India, the United Kingdom, and the European Union.
His international career spans
energy efficiency programmes in Europe, solar deployments in the United
States, and smart-grid implementations across India.
He has directly advised utilities in five countries on innovation strategies
around low-carbon consumer demand — covering solar, battery storage, and
electric vehicles — earning international recognition for OrxaGrid’s work in
the process.
At SCOPE Group level, Akshat focuses on cross-vertical synergies — linking the
measurement precision of VALIDATE with
the digital intelligence of RUN and the
field services expertise of SUSTAIN to
deliver integrated power-sector solutions for utilities and grid operators
worldwide.
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 — ranging from
boutique customer relationships to large-scale multinational contracts. 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 of
Directors, where her mandate spans two areas that are foundational to the
group’s long-term strength: people development and global commercial
relationships. She oversees employee training programmes that ensure SCOPE’s
field and technical teams stay current with evolving power-sector standards,
and she manages the group’s international dealer network — the commercial
backbone behind SCOPE’s reach across
60+ countries.
As Chairperson of SCOPE Group’s CSR Committee, Mrs. Kulkarni leads the
company’s commitment to community and industry responsibility. Her work
ensures that the group’s growth creates value not just for shareholders and
customers, but for the wider communities in which SCOPE operates.
Yash Kulkarni is a smart-cities
technologist with deep experience across
the electricity sector in India, Europe, and the United States. As
Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of OrxaGrid
— the technology engine within SCOPE’s RUN vertical — he has been the
principal architect of the group’s proprietary IoT and analytics platform.
His most significant technical achievement is a UK-patented system of IoT
sensors and an Analytics Platform designed specifically for energy networks.
The platform improves energy efficiency, enables real-time asset optimisation,
and provides fault management capabilities that reduce downtime for grid
operators — core capabilities that sit at the heart of OrxaGrid’s commercial
offering.
Beyond the technology itself, Yash is an
experienced organisational leader. He
has built and scaled high-performing product and engineering teams, redesigned
sales processes to shorten cycles and improve value communication, and led
digital transformation initiatives including CRM implementation and
data-analytics tooling.
At SCOPE Group, he continues to push the frontier of the RUN vertical —
embedding digital intelligence into grid infrastructure and helping utilities
transition from reactive maintenance to proactive, data-driven operations.
