Er Balaji Nagaraj Kumar

I am Balaji Nagaraj Kumar—a passionate human, engineer, and leader driven by innovation and intentional learning. As a Senior Product Manager at Volvo Cars, I manage Open Information Platforms and Portals, empowering developers and partners to create transformative solutions with Volvo Cars Data while ensuring compliance with evolving regulations like the EU Data Act. My work touches millions of users globally, from mobility to charging, with an emphasis on next-generation computer applications.

With a background spanning innovation, design, prototyping, management, and consultation of computer/electrical systems, my journey has been shaped by studying in five different countries, working on Ford Motors, and co-authoring technical papers in four International Science Citation Indexed journals. These experiences have given me a globally informed and futuristic perspective.

Currently, I focus on bridging technology, compliance, and user empowerment, orchestrating platforms that enable over 10,000 B2B partners/3rd parties and facilitate 10+ million API calls daily. I thrive on exploring the intersection of AI, digital identity, and cybersecurity, leveraging open information to unlock value while maintaining a human-centered approach.
