TEAM
Meet the people driving us towards success everyday.
Different minds. Shared curiosity. A common purpose.
Technology may be at the heart of what we do, but people are at the heart of how we do it.
We are a team of thinkers, tinkerers, builders, and problem-solvers. Some of us write code, some work with circuits and machines, and others turn complex challenges into practical solutions. What brings us together is a shared curiosity about how things work, a willingness to question how they could work better, and the satisfaction of seeing our ideas come to life.

Abhilash Nambiar
Chief Executive Officer
An engineer at heart, an entrepreneur by instinct, and a creative thinker by nature, Abhilash Nambiar has never been particularly interested in doing things simply because that's how they've always been done. His approach to building Claypot reflects this philosophy — question assumptions, experiment fearlessly, keep things practical, and never lose the curiosity that makes innovation possible. Equally comfortable exploring technology and the world of music, Abhilash believes that engineering and creativity are not opposing disciplines, but different expressions of the same instinct: the desire to create something meaningful.
He leads Claypot with a simple conviction — build things that matter, surround yourself with people who think independently, and enjoy the process along the way.
Sujata Sutar
General Manager
The steady hand behind the moving parts, Sujata Sutar brings structure, clarity, and a practical perspective to the everyday workings of Claypot.While technology and innovation drive the company's ambitions, Sujata focuses on the equally important challenge of turning plans into action. With an eye for detail and a people-first approach, she helps keep teams aligned, priorities clear, and operations running smoothly.She believes that good management is less about making noise and more about making things happen — solving problems before they grow, bringing people together, and ensuring that the smallest details receive the attention they deserve.
At Claypot, she represents the balance between big ideas and the discipline it takes to bring them to life.
V. P. Vijaykumar
Head - Research & Development
For some people, a technical challenge is a problem to be solved. For others, it is an opportunity to discover something new. At Claypot, VP Vijaykumar's role in Research & Development brings these two perspectives together.
Heading Claypot's R&D efforts, Vijaykumar focuses on exploring technologies, evaluating new ideas, and finding practical ways to turn technical possibilities into working solutions. His work involves looking beyond established approaches, experimenting with alternatives, and understanding what it takes to make an idea viable in the real world.
Research and development is rarely a straight road. It calls for patience, persistence, and the willingness to revisit assumptions when things don't work as expected.
At Claypot, Vijaykumar's role reflects a simple belief — innovation isn't always about inventing something entirely new. Sometimes, it's about finding a better way to do something that already exists.
Yogesh Shitap
Sr. Project Manager
From security cameras and access control to fire alarm systems and environmental sensors, Yogesh Shitap works with the technologies that quietly keep buildings safe, secure, and connected. At Claypot, Yogesh handles a diverse range of systems, including CCTV, access control, Fire Alarm and Public Address (FA/PA), and Air Quality Monitoring. His work bridges the gap between equipment in the field and the larger systems that depend on it. In a world where technology is only as good as its implementation, Yogesh focuses on the practical details — getting systems installed, integrated, and working reliably in real-world conditions.
His work reflects an important part of Claypot's philosophy: the smartest solutions are often the ones that work so seamlessly, nobody has to think about them.
Edward Rodrigues
Sr. Project Manager
Every ambitious project needs someone who can turn a complicated plan into a coordinated effort. At Claypot, Edward Rodrigues is one of the people who makes that happen. From managing manpower and coordinating field teams to handling logistics and the countless practical challenges that come with project execution, Edward operates where planning meets reality. His role demands resourcefulness, adaptability, and the ability to keep things moving even when circumstances change. Whether it's getting the right people to the right place or ensuring that work progresses without unnecessary delays, he focuses on the details that make a difference.
At Claypot, Edward is a reminder that behind every successful technological solution is an equally important human effort — people, coordination, and the determination to get things done.
L B Chauhan
Sr. Project Manager
Every intelligent building relies on an intricate network of cables, controllers, and sensors working together behind the scenes. LB Chauhan is one of the people who brings that network to life. At Claypot, LB handles the field engineering side of Building Management System (BMS) projects, overseeing everything from cabling and PLC installations to sensor deployment, configuration, and on-site integration. His work demands technical understanding, practical ingenuity, and the ability to navigate the unpredictable challenges of real-world installations. From interpreting engineering requirements to troubleshooting issues on-site, he helps bridge the gap between system design and operational reality.
At Claypot, LB represents an essential truth about building automation — intelligence may be built into the software, but reliability begins with getting the fundamentals right in the field.
Nilesh Gawade
Project Manager
Technology may begin with a design, but it comes to life in the field. Nilesh Gawade is part of the team that makes that transition possible. Working alongside Yogesh Shitap, Nilesh is involved in the installation, testing, and maintenance of systems such as CCTV, access control, fire alarms, public address systems. His work takes him to the practical side of engineering, where every connection matters, every installation presents its own challenges, and solutions often require a combination of technical understanding and hands-on problem-solving.
At Claypot, Nilesh contributes to the essential groundwork that keeps sophisticated systems functioning reliably — a reminder that even the most advanced technology depends on people who know how to make it work in the real world.
Vishal Raut
Project Manager
Behind every smoothly functioning system is someone who has spent time getting the details right. Vishal Raut is part of the hands-on team that turns technical plans into working solutions. Working alongside Yogesh Shitap and Nilesh Gawade, Vishal is involved in the installation, testing, and maintenance of CCTV, access control, fire alarm, public address systems. His role takes him beyond drawings and specifications into real-world environments, where no two installations are quite the same and practical problem-solving is an everyday necessity.
At Claypot, Vishal contributes to the work that often goes unnoticed but makes all the difference — ensuring that technology doesn't just look good on paper, but performs where it matters most.
Gautam Kulkarni
Chief Technology Officer
Curious about how things work and equally interested in how they could work better, Gautam Kulkarni enjoys exploring the space where software, electronics, and engineering come together. At Claypot, he works across software development, system integration, and technology implementation, contributing to everything from web applications and building automation platforms to industrial controllers and emerging technologies such as AI and video analytics. His approach is rooted in hands-on learning, experimentation, and the belief that there is always something new to understand. Whether it's writing code, figuring out an unfamiliar device, or working through a technical challenge with the team, he is happiest when there's a problem to solve and something to learn along the way.
For Gautam, technology is less about knowing all the answers and more about staying curious enough to keep asking questions.
