Anant Maheshwari, President, Microsoft India

5 min read Last Updated : Apr 26 2023 | 7:59 PM IST

The National Association of Software Services Companies (Nasscom) has announced the appointment of Anant Maheshwari, president & CEO, Microsoft India, as chairperson of the industry body for 2023-24. Maheshwari’s appointment is noteworthy as he doesn’t come from a pure software services firm and represents Microsoft, which has disrupted the technology landscape with its investment in OpenAI – the developer of ChatGPT. In an interview with Shivani Shinde, he talks about his focus areas at the industry body. Edited excerpts:

What’s your view on your elevation to this role, especially because you come from a technology solutions company -- Microsoft? Does this mean a shift in Nasscom’s focus?

It definitely is new to have a person from a platform/solutions company as Nasscom chairperson, but I see this as a measured shift that has not happened
