Our Leadership

RAMESH THUMBIKAT

Strategic Advisory Board Member & Relationship Advisor, SkilledX (Ex-KPMG, UAE, Oman & India | Ex-Bausch & Lomb, India)

At SkilledX, leadership isn’t handed out by title — it’s earned by the transformation someone is trusted to protect. For Ramesh Thumbikat, that’s discipline itself.

Ramesh Thumbikat belongs to a rare class of technocrat — the kind entrusted by corporate C-suites to turn IT from a cost centre into a strategic weapon. With around two decades of MNC and Big 4 experience, he has governed enterprise-wide IT service delivery spanning multiple countries, commanding everything from ERP and CRM to business intelligence and robotic process automation at true enterprise scale.

At KPMG, that discipline translated into results few technologists match: ITIL-driven service delivery held to under 1% SLA breaches, month after month; board and C-suite reporting turnaround cut by half; strategic projects that lifted turnaround time by 40% and processing efficiency by 60%, while trimming annual costs by 10–12%. He stabilised Oracle EBS ERP, deployed QlikView business intelligence trusted directly by finance leadership, and delivered ISO 27001 certification that hardened information security across the business — earning an Exceptional Performer rating year after year.

Ramesh holds a Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering and a Diploma in Management, and is ITIL, CGEIT, and COBIT certified — a rare combination of engineering rigor and formal IT governance credentials.

At SkilledX, Ramesh is a mentor and Strategic Advisory Board Member & Relationship Advisor, bringing that same world-class technocrat’s instinct to guide the firm’s growth across ERP, compliance, and client relationships. For a company with a global perspective and scaling fast, his presence is a signal: that the systems being built here are meant to last.
