Hexaware Technologies is steering a decisive leadership transition as it plots a course toward an AI-enabled growth trajectory. The company disclosed that Srikrishna Ramakarthikeyan, who has been serving as Chief Executive Officer, Whole-time Director, and a director of Hexaware’s subsidiaries, has tendered his resignation with effect from October 28, 2026. In a move designed to maintain stability, Ramakarthikeyan will assume the role of Senior Advisor to the company from the same date, ensuring a structured handover during the final stretch of his tenure.
In a parallel development, Hexaware’s Board approved the appointment of Vivek Jetley as the new Chief Executive Officer, also effective October 28, 2026. Jetley arrives from EXL, where he led the Insurance, Healthcare and Life Science businesses as President and previously headed EXL Analytics, shaping data-driven transformations for global clients. His track record at EXL—driving AI-enabled analytics, strategic partnerships, and growth through technology disruption—positions Hexaware to accelerate its push into data-centric transformation and GenAI capabilities.
Observers will be watching how Jetley’s incumbency will intersect with Hexaware’s ongoing transformation agenda. Ramakarthikeyan’s transition to Senior Advisor signals a pathway for continuity, mentoring, and a measured handover as the company leans into a four-year leadership horizon under a CEO with a background steeped in AI, analytics, and enterprise-scale change. The move underscores Hexaware’s intent to blend stable governance with fresh executive energy to navigate a rapidly evolving technology landscape.
