Kavi Arasu

Kavi Arasu works at the intersection of people, systems, and organisational change. His work has taken him across multinational corporations and high-growth enterprises in India and internationally, giving him a grounded view of how transformation actually plays out, as opposed to how it gets described in strategy decks.

Over the last decade, his work has centred on partnering with CEOs and senior leadership teams through business transitions, digital transformation, and cultural change. He has supported leadership transitions, post-M&A cultural integration, and the kind of long-term stewardship of values that rarely gets noticed until it's missing. AI is now one strand of that work. Leaders are trying to work out what it changes and what it doesn't, and that question sits comfortably inside the change problems he has spent decades on.

He runs Flyntrok, an advisory practice built around change challenges that rarely arrive with instructions. He also teaches at a leading business school and speaks at leadership forums internationally. He used to run long distances. These days he runs Flyntrok instead, which he maintains is no less demanding.

He works very closely with the core team at Founding Fuel on learning and change initiatives and is a regular contributor. He lives in Mumbai, a city he finds well suited to thinking clearly amid constant motion.
