Capgemini on Tuesday announced two new appointments to its leadership in India.
Srinivas Kandula, CEO of Capgemini in India and member of the Group Executive Committee, will now be the Chairman of Capgemini in India, reporting to Thierry Delaporte, Group Chief Operating Officer (COO), whose responsibility also includes India.
In his new role, Kandula will focus on augmenting the brand and nurturing relationships with key stakeholders. He will also take charge of an important group initiative focused on top talent, leveraging his extensive experience in human resources.
The company’s former India COO Ashwin Yardi is now the CEO of Capgemini in India. He will also report to Thierry. He is now a member of the Group Executive Committee, in place of Kandula.
“With 1,00,000 people—half of our workforce—based in India across twelve locations, this leadership reinforcement is a natural step and fully reflects how Capgemini in India’s role is at the very heart of our Group,” comments Thierry Delaporte, Group Chief Operating Officer. “I am very much looking forward to working with both Srinivas and Ashwin in their new leadership positions.”
