Makarand Kulkarni
Kulkarni believes that is very important for one to continuously learn and share knowledge with peers. Today, every organisation requires services arranged in order to allow the administration to focus and actively participate in building future plans. The FM should be strategic and understand what the team may be required to work on, and should be ready with vendors/consultants/team members and resources at all times.
Following these principles, Kulkarni discloses, “As we are a multi-location company, we conduct internal admin conclaves to share the best practises followed at different campuses. Every team presents the initiatives taken and achieved, and the quarterly plan to enable business. We have benchmarked various costs, so that they can be achieved at as many locations as possible. Since it is important to continuously improve, the ROI for utilities are carried by administrative or FM teams.”
