Heads marketing and business development at Posimind. Draws on more than thirty years of corporate experience to build the firm's network across India and Southeast Asia.
Dhananjay Kulkarni is the Marketing Head at Posimind Consulting. He leads the firm's marketing and business development function, with a focus on building durable corporate relationships and expanding Posimind's reach across India and the wider region.
Dhananjay's professional background is unusual for an executive search firm. He has spent over thirty years as an environmentalist, working across industry, policy, and community-facing engagements — a career that built an exceptionally wide network of senior corporate connections. Those relationships now anchor Posimind's go-to-market work: introductions to founders and CHROs, sector intelligence that complements the consulting team's own research, and an external perspective on what makes a partner-led search practice feel different from a transactional one.
Inside the firm, Dhananjay's role is to translate Posimind's positioning — quantified AI capability, AI as a force multiplier for senior judgement, an emerging-markets-native practice — into client conversations that lead to real engagements. He works closely with Trupti and the practice heads to ensure that the firm's external voice matches the work being delivered behind it.
A boutique firm is only as wide as the relationships behind it. That's the part you can't manufacture.
