About Vikram S. Kirloskar

IIPM MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE
Born on November 19, 1958 in Kolhapur, Vikram bagged a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA and has worked in various Indian and international companies in different capacities. Vikram’s stint with TKM goes way back to 1997, when he initiated a successful joint venture between Toyota Motor Group and Kirloskar Group. Kirloskar manages the affairs of two separate organisations – TKM and the Kirloskar Group. He spends a lot of time overseeing operations in manufacturing and technology at the Kirloskar Group. He emphatically refers to it as a re-learning stage as he tries to implement the things he learns from the predominant Japanese culture at TKM. He admits that it is difficult at times to bring about a uniform cultural integration in two structurally different companies.
