Tushar Kamat was born in Zurich, Switzerland on 4th February, 1974 to Indian parents. His father (Dr. Vijay Kamat) had migrated to Zurich to pursue his PhD at the iconic ETH University and lived there for more than a decade including 7 years post marriage with his wife (Meena Kamat). They moved back to Mumbai, India when Tushar was 10 months old and he has been living in Mumbai ever since and is an extremely proud Indian.

He has been a Technology Sales Leader and has worked across several iconic brands including SAP, Accenture, TCS, Airtel & Siemens, and is presently the Field Operating Unit Head for India Business at the San Jose, California head-quartered Robotics Process Automation (RPA) leader, Automation Anywhere.

His stated ambition is to give up corporate career by 50 and commit himself to some strong social causes like addressing farmer suicides in interior Maharashtra, female infanticide in rural India, extreme poverty in Africa, etc. His mother (Meena Kamat) has been a serving Lions Club member for more than 25 years, and his maternal grand father (Madhukar Mantri) was the Chairman of Mumbai Grahak Sangha (Consumer Forum) and was also involved in the Goa Liberation Movement. So social work runs in the family.

He is an avid traveller and has visited 49 countries across 5 continents with a stated ambition to cover 100 countries in his lifetime. But Mumbai still remains his favourite city where he has made some great friends over the years. His other passion is cricket, perhaps driven by the fact that he’s related to the iconic Sunil Gavaskar from his maternal side.
