ChrysCapital-backed Xoriant appoints former LTIMindtree executive Rohit Kedia as new CEO

US-based consulting and IT engineering services firm Xoriant, backed by private equity firm ChrysCapital, has appointed former LTIMindtree executive Rohit Kedia as its new chief executive officer.

Kedia takes over from Sukamal Banerjee, whose reasons for the exit were not disclosed.

Banerjee was hired in March 2023 from larger IT giant HCLTech, where he served nearly 27 years rising to corporate vice president prior to joining Xoriant.


Meanwhile, Kedia served as the chief growth officer at LTIMindtree, where he served more than eight years, including seven years at L&T Infotech, prior to its merger with Mindtree in November 2022. Prior to LTIMindtree, Kedia worked over 19 years at second largest software services player Infosys.

“Rohit (Kedia) brings a strategic vision, deep digital engineering expertise, and a passion for driving business transformation. We are confident that under his leadership, Xoriant will continue to accelerate its momentum as a trusted partner for customers helping them engineer platforms for growth at the convergence of software, data and AI,” said Sanjay Jalona, chairman of the board, Xoriant.

Kedia holds an engineering degree from IIT-BHU, Varanasi.

“I look forward to collaborating with the talented XFactors (Xoriant employees), and our partners to continue driving impactful outcomes and amplifying customer success, while positioning Xoriant at the forefront of digital transformation. ChrysCapital's backing positions Xoriant for industry-leading growth and value creation for all stakeholders,” Kedia said on the appointment.

Xoriant has made three acquisitions since it was majority acquired by Indian private equity major ChrysCapital for $250 million in January 2023.
