Founder, ElementsAI
Ashish Kulkarni
Building the platforms and frameworks that help governments and industries prepare before the next disaster — not just respond to it.
About Ashish
Ashish Kulkarni is the Founder of ElementsAI, where he leads the development of AI-native platforms designed to help governments, industries, and organizations anticipate risk, strengthen preparedness, coordinate response, and build lasting resilience.
He is the author of Simulation Ready: A Best Practice Guide to Emergency Preparedness, with a foreword by Ricardo Mena, former Director of UNDRR.
A recognized voice in AI-enabled emergency preparedness and disaster resilience, Ashish has worked across the Middle East, Latin America, and the UN ecosystem, helping organizations move beyond compliance-driven planning toward practical operational readiness.
He is also a returning Event Host and Technology Partner at TecHive's flagship conferences, contributing to discussions on AI, disaster risk reduction, emergency management, and resilience.
Company Work — ElementsAI
As Founder of ElementsAI, Ashish leads the development of AI-native platforms built around a simple principle:
Better preparedness requires better intelligence before the crisis begins.
ALERT360 — The AI-Enabled Lifecycle Emergency Response Platform
Given Ashish's focus on moving organizations “from compliance to readiness,” ALERT360 is best understood as the platform behind that shift — helping teams move past static plans and checklists toward continuously updated risk awareness and simulation-tested preparedness. It supports organizations across the full emergency management lifecycle: Anticipate → Prevent → Plan → Prepare → Respond → Recover → Improve.
This lifecycle is powered by a suite of 10 specialized, interoperable modules — including ALERTWarning for early warning and alerting, ALERTSim for simulation and exercise management, ALERTComCen for command centre operations, and ALERTEOC for emergency operations centres — all built on an AI-native architecture with GeoAI spatial intelligence at its core.
ALERT360 is designed to bridge the gap between information, intelligence, and action — while keeping human judgement at the centre of emergency decision-making.
Speaking Topics
Ashish delivers talks and contributes to discussions on:
- 01Agentic AI Systems, Frameworks and Governance

Simulation Ready: A Best Practice Guide to Emergency Preparedness
The book presents a practical framework for organizations seeking to strengthen emergency preparedness through realistic simulation, decision-making, and readiness measurement.
It is written for government disaster-management leaders, emergency-management professionals, energy and infrastructure operators, and organizational leaders responsible for crisis preparedness.
