Hexaware Technologies is navigating a leadership transition that puts AI-driven growth and enterprise transformation at the forefront. Srikrishna Ramakarthikeyan will step down as Chief Executive Officer and Whole-time Director, as well as a director of Hexaware’s subsidiaries, with effect from October 28, 2026. In a move to ensure a continuity-forward handover, the Board has appointed him as Senior Advisor to the company, effective the same date. The company emphasizes a smooth transition as it continues to execute its strategic agenda.
Hexaware also announced the appointment of Vivek Jetley as Chief Executive Officer, to take the helm from October 28, 2026, for a four-year term. Jetley arrives with a track record built on leading data- and AI-led transformations across global enterprises, a background that aligns with Hexaware’s emphasis on AI-enabled services and digital modernization.
Jetley’s career spans more than 25 years at the intersection of AI, data, and enterprise transformation. Most recently, he served as President at EXL, overseeing the Insurance, Healthcare, and Life Sciences businesses, and previously led EXL Analytics as President. His leadership at EXL, including driving the company’s pivot to data-centric, AI-enabled solutions, will be a focal point as Hexaware accelerates its growth trajectory in a rapidly evolving tech landscape.
As Hexaware positions itself for the next phase of growth, the leadership reshuffle reflects a deliberate emphasis on AI, analytics, and scalable transformation across client industries. The transition underscores the company’s readiness to pair seasoned executive leadership with a clear continuity plan for both client delivery and organizational momentum.
