Bhushan Kulkarni, CEO of InfoReady Corporation and the chairman of GDI Infotech

Ann Arbor SPARK CEO Podcasts: Conversations on Economic Opportunity capture the flavor of my one-on-one conversations with over one hundred key economic leaders in the region, including private sector CEOs, elected and appointed public sector leaders, and the executive leadership of key non-profit and academic institutions. The podcast series is designed to not only highlight that expertise, but also make it available to others who could benefit from the wisdom those business leaders can share.

Bhushan Kulkarni is the CEO of InfoReady Corporation and the chairman of GDI Infotech. He is deeply involved in the Ann Arbor region business and tech community, serving on numerous boards. He is a member of SPARK's Executive Committee and chair of the Foreign Direct Investment Committee. At SPARK's 2013 Annual Meeting, Bhushan was presented with the Chairman's Award for Volunteer Leader of the Year.

In my conversation with Bhushan, he talks about what brought him to Michigan, navigating the different stages of company growth and what is needed to encourage companies to continue their growth in the area.
