Kaustubh Sharma didn’t just grow into transformation work—he’s lived it across industries, countries, and cultures.
With over two decades of cross-industry experience—spanning manufacturing, finance, healthcare, and more—Kaustubh has led transformation efforts across two continents and with teams around the globe.
He holds a Master of Science in Industrial Engineering and is a certified Six Sigma Master Black Belt for nearly a decade. His certifications also include SHRM-SCP, PMP, and (soon to be completed) PROSCI in change management. But beyond credentials, Kaustubh brings a rare ability to connect strategy with execution, and vision with measurable impact.
Rooted in end-to-end systems thinking and a built-in quality philosophy, his work focuses on creating lasting frameworks—not quick fixes. His approach aligns people, processes, and purpose to drive sustainable transformation.
Ikigai Solutions reflects that ethos—intentional design, scalable execution, and human-centered innovation. Kaustubh doesn’t just advise. He builds capability, inspires progress, and helps organizations do the best work of their lives.
