Technology services firm Prodapt appoints Harsha Kumar as CEO

Technology services and consulting firm Prodapt, which is focused on the communication industry, announced the elevation of Harsha Kumar as its chief executive officer (CEO) on Monday. Kumar takes over from founder and current CEO Vedant Jhaver, who will now serve as the chairman of Prodapt.

The company said Kumar will lead strategy, oversee business operations, and steer people and delivery. Prodapt provides technology services and consulting to clients across every layer of the connectedness vertical, including communications, media, and technology firms around the world.

"I am excited to work closely with the leadership team and accelerate our company’s success with guidance from the Board and Vedant. In the coming years, Prodapt will be the default partner of choice in the connectedness industry and shape the way people, enterprises, and machines engage with each other,” Kumar said in a statement.


Being the president for the last seven years, Prodapt said Kumar has helped define growth strategies, deliver strong results, scale practice areas, develop leadership talent and build a strong operations organisation.

"Harsha has been a big strength and partner to me over these years. His discipline and focus on execution have been critical to Prodapt’s leadership position in the Connectedness vertical. With Harsha at the helm, Prodapt will continue to break new ground and solve our customers’ complex business challenges,” Jhaver said in a statement.

Before joining Prodapt, Kumar held several leadership positions in the technology services industry, and has successfully incubated and scaled several businesses that have grown to become large divisions.

He also cofounded a software product company prior to that. He holds degrees from the Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi, and the University of Maryland, College Park.
