Ajay Kothalkar | Technical Support Engineer

Standout Performer Award Winner – November 2025

Ajay Kothalkar has become a cornerstone of Coupa’s APAC Support organization, consistently delivering exceptional outcomes for some of our most strategic, high-value customers.

Known as a trusted problem-solver, Ajay plays a critical role in supporting our VIP customers, many of whom operate in highly complex technical environments. His ability to quickly diagnose issues, partner deeply with customers, and deliver accurate solutions has made him the go-to engineer during high-stakes situations.

In November alone, Ajay directly owned 34 complex, high-impact customer cases, most tied to large enterprise customers in critical implementation and go-live phases. In addition, he proactively supported 50+ additional cases assigned to other engineers, often stepping in from scratch to help unblock peers and customers alike.

What sets Ajay apart is not just volume, but dedication. During a pivotal period for customers onboarding to Coupa’s SCC product, Ajay took full ownership of ensuring success. Speed and precision were essential, and he consistently delivered — even working through weekends to ensure customers remained unblocked and confident in the product.

As a result of Ajay’s efforts:

Customers experienced faster resolution during critical phases
Confidence in Coupa’s support and platform increased
His work directly contributed to customer satisfaction, renewals, and revenue impact

Ajay’s commitment, technical depth, and willingness to go above and beyond exemplify Coupa’s core value of Drive Success for #AllOfUs.

Congratulations, Ajay!

Thank you for setting a powerful example of what excellence looks like at Coupa. Your impact reinforces why recognition matters — and why people like you help us build tomorrow, together.
