NTT DATA, Inc. acquired Dell Services on November 2, 2016. Post the acquisition, I continued to lead the global BFSI business. I remained in this role through the end of March 2017 to ensure a smooth and successful transition to NTT DATA at the end of the fiscal year.

As the global head of Banking, Financial Services, Securities and Insurance (BFSI) at Dell Services, I was responsible for setting the vision and strategy, executing the strategy and managing the P&L for the business. In 2011, I was hired to create a high-growth business that, at the time, was a scattering of varied accounts with non-existent Go-to-Market Strategy, Practices, Solutions and Pre-Sales teams. I built a highly-successful team consisting of sales, account and relationship management, architecture and solutioning, and consulting and industry expertise. I also developed a focused growth strategy, which included high customer and employee satisfaction rates. From its modest beginning in 2011, with a handful of customers and a few solutions, Dell Services’ BFSI business grew to more than 5,000 team members, offering end-to-end capabilities across banking, securities and insurance covering consulting, applications, business process management and infrastructure/cloud services. During this time period, BFSI became one of the most successful and fastest-growing businesses within Dell Services. BFSI maintained its strong customer focus while providing rewarding careers for its employees and a culture of overall excellence and personal achievement.

Infocrossing, a global IT Services company providing Data Center and Business Process Outsourcing services, was acquired by Wipro Limited in 2007. Post-acquisition, I was appointed by the Chairman and Executive Leadership team of Wipro to be the executive-in-charge to run the business, with overall P&L responsibility, which had nearly $300 million in revenues and 1100 employees. During this time period, the business transformed from a loss-making enterprise to a high-margin, high-growth business. This led to Infocrossing’s metamorphosis from a provider of SME-centric data center services to a global 1,000-focused outsourcing business.

In July 1995, I relocated to New York to establish Wipro Infotech’s BFSI business in the US. Working as a one-person team in the US, I set-up the initial partnerships, put in place the framework for business development, and won the initial customers during the first year of operations. Once business operations were established and streamlined, with a steady client base, I handed over the responsibilities to a team member and took on another new initiative - to establish a new practice for Wipro in the then-fledgling world of internet and e-commerce.

After joining Wipro from business school, I worked in the India market for three years focusing on Systems Integration solutions, consistently exceeding revenue targets. Based upon my performance, I was selected to move to New York, NY to establish Wipro Infotech’s global BFSI business.
