In a strategic move to strengthen its global footprint, SOMA has announced the launch of
SOMA India Marketing Services Pvt Ltd, underscoring its commitment to the rapidly evolving
Indian packaging industry.
With the country’s packaging sector witnessing unprecedented growth and transformation,
SOMA India will serve as a vital partner for local converters seeking advanced, efficient, and
high-performance flexographic printing solutions. The new branch will provide direct access
to SOMA’s latest technologies, expert technical support, and customized services designed
specifically for the South Asian market.
At the helm of SOMA India is Suhas Kulkarni, an accomplished sales and operations leader
with extensive experience across Asia. As Country Head, he will oversee operations in three
South Asian countries, driving profitability, operational excellence, and alignment with
SOMA’s global vision of growth and innovation.
Pavla Kusá, Commercial Director of SOMA, says, “India represents a vital market for SOMA,
both in terms of scale and innovation potential, With Suhas’s deep expertise and longstanding
experience in the Indian market, SOMA India has grown into a strong and capable
organization. Under his leadership, we have built a dedicated team that is fully equipped to
meet the specific needs of Indian converters and to deliver the full value of SOMA’s
technology. Together, they embody our commitment to being a reliable, long-term partner for
our customers in India.”
Suhas brings a wealth of expertise from his previous role as Managing Director of
Technology at DKSH, where he successfully managed diverse business lines spanning data
center solutions, scientific instruments, and printing & packaging. His strategic insight and
deep understanding of the Indian market will be instrumental in establishing SOMA India as
a trusted industry partner.
“We are excited to bring SOMA’s world-class flexographic technology closer to customers in
India,” explains Suhas Kulkarni. “Our focus will be on delivering value through innovation,
customer-centric service, and a strong local presence that supports sustainable growth for
the entire printing and packaging ecosystem.”
As demand for premium packaging continues to surge in India, converters are increasingly
challenged to meet tighter deadlines, handle shorter print runs, and respond to sustainability
pressures. SOMA India is poised to help address these challenges by delivering solutions
built on the company’s core strengths, flexibility, automation, and precision, ensuring that
Indian converters remain competitive both regionally and globally.
