Amit Kelkar
Founder & Principal
Amit founded Postmodern in 1998 as a technology consultancy for businesses across Australia, New Zealand and Asia. Since then he has led applied-AI start-ups, lectured and researched at the University of Sydney, and spent a decade leading technology programs in the public sector.
He has also built and run businesses of his own, in wine export, book retail and e-commerce. He knows what it takes to make a business work, not just the technology.
He brings both sides to every piece of work, so the advice is grounded in how businesses actually run.
