Mindtree Ltd. has appointed NxT Digital’s Aan Chauhan as chief technology officer, weeks after it completed the acquisition of the L&T Group firm.
Chauhan served as NxT Digital’s CTO for two years, focusing on incubating and realising strategic digital platform-based business initiatives. Before joining L&T, Chauhan worked at Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. for 15 years and served as that company’s CTO from 2016 to 2019. Before Cognizant, he was at IBM Global Services for eight years, serving in multiple tech leadership roles across multiple geographies.
An alumnus of IIT Kanpur, Chauhan has over 26 years experience in building world-class products, platforms, services, and high-performance teams across diverse industry sectors such as banking and financial services, capital markets, insurance, manufacturing, healthcare, e-commerce, retail and technology.
Mindtree expects to see significant growth in the NxT Digital business, with the potential to extend the offerings to other industries as well, ET reported on Sunday.
“NxT Digital is all about connected products and connected ecosystems, which have been successfully implemented within the L&T Group,” Mindtree CEO Debashis Chatterjee told ET. “We saw an opportunity to take this to our manufacturing clients, who are accelerating their digital transformation and also to new clients,”
“The reason we are excited about this is that it has got a huge opportunity not only in manufacturing but also in industries like retail and consumer packaged goods,” he added.
