Saumitra Kamat, a commercially driven strategist with a passion for people and purpose, has joined Business Doctors to support SME growth in the South East of England.

With over 25 years of experience in commercial leadership roles across multiple sectors, Saumitra has helped businesses scale, diversify, and navigate change, but it’s his belief in human-centred, values-led growth that now drives his next chapter.

“I’ve reached a stage in life where meaningful work, family and balance are more important than job titles,” Saumitra said. “Joining Business Doctors allows me to use everything I’ve learned to support entrepreneurs who are building businesses not just for profit, but for purpose.”

At Business Doctors, Saumitra helps small business owners and founders cut through the complexity of growth. Whether it’s clarifying their value proposition, developing a clear commercial strategy, or building scalable systems, his approach is always grounded in real-world practicality and delivered with empathy, honesty and encouragement.

Saumitra’s own professional journey has spanned fast-growing startups, global corporates and ambitious mid-sized firms, giving him a deep understanding of how to unlock growth at every stage. He specialises in aligning vision with execution, supporting strategic decision-making, and helping founders stay focused on what really matters.

He now joins a national network of Business Doctors committed to working side-by-side with SMEs, solopreneurs and startup leaders, offering hands-on support, not just advice.

“Business owners are under more pressure than ever,” Saumitra said. “I want to help them step back, take a breath, and move forward with clarity, not just as entrepreneurs, but as people.”

When he’s not working, Saumitra is deeply invested in his own learning and development, from skill diversification and adapting to industry shifts, to growing his network and staying informed. You’ll often find him tuning in to BBC Radio 4, exploring new ideas and perspectives to bring back to the businesses he supports.
