Bharat Kaushik
Aligning people, processes, and tech to remove uncertainty from execution
I design low-friction systems that turn messy, human processes into auditable, decision-ready workflows.
What I repeatedly work on
Visibility & Decision Systems
When leaders lack timely, trusted signals
→ dashboards, digests, risk radars, exec summaries
Process Governance & Traceability
When plans change silently and accountability breaks
→ Excel-first systems, audit trails, frozen baselines
Execution at Scale (High-stakes Ops)
When failure is not an option
→ multi-agency PMO, zero-incident delivery, tight control loops
Flagship Projects
Three projects that best represent how I work: decision systems, execution at scale, and productised automation.
Execution & Productivity Dashboard
2025Excel-first execution system that turns 25+ project reports into leadership-ready signals on plan vs actual, productivity, and exceptions.
25+ projects | ~80% manual effort reduced | ~98% accuracy
Defence Expo PMO (2022)
2022Ran 8 workstreams and multi-agency governance to deliver a zero-incident event at national scale.
250k+ visitors | 75+ delegations | 100% SLA / zero incidents
Industry Digest
2025Weekly Monday 9 AM digest that converts 30+ sources into EPC wins, setbacks, moves & macro signals.
3 hrs -> <10 min weekly | 30+ sources | weekly cadence
Selected Work
Shipped systems, experiments, and teardowns -- organised by the kind of problem they solve.
Org/client names are omitted where needed; scope, approach, and outcomes are real.
Planning Traceability System
2025Excel-first governance that freezes baselines, tracks revisions, and keeps roll-forward clean without adding site effort.
BG & Surety Risk Control System
2025Standardised exposure and expiry tracking for guarantees/sureties, with dashboards and proactive alerts to reduce financial blind spots.
Audible Product Teardown
2025Audible, backed by Amazon, is the global leader in audiobooks. I unpacked the product, user journey, and business model to see where it wins, where it struggles, and how it can grow.
AI Powered Risk Radar
2025Real-time dashboard that ingests global news, classifies disruption events, and scores severity on a 0-10 index; visualized on an interactive world map with trends and filters.
How I design systems
I don't build "perfect" systems.
I build systems that survive contact with reality.
- • Excel-first, automation-backed → adoption beats elegance
- • Governance without friction → controls that don't slow teams
- • Decision signals over dashboards → insight > instrumentation
Impact
Proof of scale and outcomes across roles and environments
- Admin SLA -90 % and paper eliminated within 14 weeks
- Analyst cycle-time -85 %, freeing > 1 FTE/day
- Hit 100 % SLA / zero incidents
- Recommended for DG Commendation Roll
- Inventory turns x2
- Sales +20 % (Rs11 L / month)
- Final design required 40% fewer machines
- Delivered a better security depth and kept the project within capex limit
- Right-sized staffing and tech refresh
- Sliced operating spend by 20% while preserving security coverage

Career timeline
Every day, I connect the dots: bridging teams, streamlining workflows, and translating analytics into smarter operations.
From laying the analytics foundation at ZS to integrating solutions across operations, I've learned one truth: clarity, collaboration, and tech are what make execution thrive.
Now, I help cut through uncertainty so we can move faster, smarter and build a future rooted in confident, clear execution.
