Bio
Muralikrishna Parna
Vinod has the distinct ability to listen and navigate well thru the corporate relationships, to get things done which helped me to be successful as well. Vinod not only has a strategic mind but also is detailed when necessary. He surely expresses his opinion clearly and objectively and has matured over a period of time in managing his emotions very well. His positive attitude to adopt new protocols has a positive influence on others. He is humble to accept mistakes, which makes him more human and liked by the team. He will always be an asset to any team he is part of.

Commitment is a word that naturally comes to mind when I think about Vinod Kulkarni. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Vinod since 2013 when he was appointed Manager for the Crop Care Design Analysis Team at John Deere Technology Center India. Above all, I was impressed with Vinod’s ability to inspire and develop a highly engaged team, his natural ability to build strong relationships with all stakeholders across the Enterprise (US, Mexico, Brazil and India), his honesty and his dedication to delivering business results. Vinod would be a true asset for any positions requiring strong team leader skills in a global environment, and strategic thinking to align the team to the long term goals of the business. He comes with my heartfelt recommendation.
