His professional journey has included strengthening iconic brands at Marico, scaling businesses such as Amazon Prime, Amazon Fashion, Amazon Pay and Amazon Fresh, and most recently driving brand transformation and AI-powered marketing capabilities at Kotak. 

Today, Kedar works closely with organisations to accelerate AI adoption across functions including marketing, finance, operations, human resources and customer experience. His focus lies in helping businesses move beyond isolated AI experiments towards building intelligent operating models that create measurable business impact. 

A recipient of the Pitch Tech Forward CMO Award and honoured as the Best Alumnus of SIBM Pune, Kedar brings a unique perspective on the intersection of technology, business and leadership. 

His context-setting address at OAC 2026 is expected to provide delegates with a broader lens through which to view the rapid changes taking place across industries and set the stage for conversations on what these shifts could mean for the future of the OOH ecosystem.
