HCLTech appoints Arjun Sethi as chief growth officer for strategic segments

HCLTech on Tuesday appointed Arjun A Sethi as its chief growth officer for strategic segments, focusing on government and global private equity. An IIM alumnus, Sethi joined HCLTech after a stint of 2.5 decades at consulting firm Kearney, where he served as senior partner and vice chair of digital transformation, said the company in a filing with BSE.

This is the second top leadership change at the firm after its former chief financial officer, Prateek Aggarwal, resigned to pursue opportunities outside the firm in August this year. The IT major appointed Shiv Walia as its new CFO with effect from the close of business on September 6, 2024.

Sethi will report directly to CEO of HCLTech, C Vijayakumar. The filing added, “Based in New York, Sethi will leverage his deep industry experience to bring HCLTech’s engineering-led technology portfolio, digital services and differentiated GenAI solutions to these high-growth segments, drawing on his expertise in digital and business transformation.”


Vijayakumar, said, “We are pleased to bring in a dynamic leader to sharply focus on both strategy and execution. Arjun’s extensive experience in digital transformation and his outstanding global track record will play a crucial role as we tap into a wealth of new opportunities in these important segments."

Sethi’s international experience spans the Americas, Middle East and APAC across government and PE, as well as financial services. Sethi, said, “I’m thrilled to join HCLTech at this pivotal moment, 25 years after my initial stint with the group. I look forward to unlocking new opportunities and contributing to HCLTech’s growth.”
