Subhadeep Mukherjee

Subhadeep Mukherjee

Vice President
Hi, I’m Subhodeep Mukherjee. By qualification, I’m a computer engineer, but my heart has always been in building and growing businesses. Being an entrepreneur has given me the opportunity to turn ideas into reality, solve problems, and create meaningful relationships along the way. Beyond work, I’m a passionate movie buff and an unapologetic tech enthusiast who loves keeping up with the latest innovations. I also believe that the best memories are made outside the routine of everyday life. Whenever work allows, you’ll find me exploring new destinations with my wonderful family—my wife, Smitakshi, and our two sons, Ahaan and Ivaan. They are my biggest source of joy, inspiration, and strength. Football is another passion that’s very close to my heart. What began as my love for the beautiful game has now become a shared family passion, with both my sons training professionally. Watching them grow, learn, and enjoy the sport has been one of my life’s greatest rewards. Equally important to me is staying connected to my roots and celebrating the traditions that bring people together. That’s why I’m truly delighted to be a part of Oitijhyo Sarbojonin Cultural Association—a community that beautifully preserves our heritage while creating a welcoming space for families to celebrate culture, friendship, and togetherness. I look forward to contributing to this journey and creating many cherished memories with everyone.

Hello! I am Tungadri Bose. A computational biologist by trade, I map the trillions of microscopic organisms that call our body home. I’m also obsessed with how traditional Indian dishes partner with these gut microbes to power our health. Beyond my research, I am a foodie with a passion for exploring new places and checking destinations off my bucket list. Through my association with Oitijhyo Sarbojonin, I engage with underserved communities to make a meaningful difference in their lives. My main passion is inspiring young minds through story telling about the wonders of science and the rich tapestry of India. If I can spark curiosity and build the confidence of even a few children to pursue their dreams, I consider it time well spent.

Hi everyone! I’m Smitakshi Mukherjee, and I’ve been part of the Trane family for almost 15 years. While I currently lead Oracle deployments globally, what defines me most is my family and the things I love outside of work. I’m an avid reader, a passionate home chef, and a proud soccer mom to my two boys. Most weekends, you’ll find me on the sidelines of a football field, cheering louder than anyone else! I’m incredibly grateful for my husband, Subhodeep, whose constant encouragement, patience, and unwavering support have been my biggest strength. He’s the reason I’m able to balance a demanding career with the life I love. I believe life has a simple way of rewarding what you put into it-kindness, sincerity, and positivity always find their way back. Or as I like to say, good karma. Just with better timing!

I feel fortunate to be a devoted son, a supportive husband to Kavita, and doting father to our wonderful little daughter Navika, who brings me immense joy. As a family, we enjoy travelling and spending time with family and friends. Professionally, I have built a fulfilling career in IT, with experience across domains, technical, and management areas with leading global organizations and Fortune 500 customers.

That early bond has kept me closely connected to Bengali culture, and I feel fortunate to have volunteered at Durga Puja celebrations in different parts of the world. Being part of Oitijhyo Sarbojonin Cultural Association feels like a meaningful and joyful step in this journey. I look forward to contributing with warmth, dedication, and a shared love.
