Mindtree brings in Talent from Genpact, Infosys

Bengaluru: Mid-tier IT services provider Mindtree has hired top talent from Genpact and Infosys and is scouting for sales talent, particularly in digital technology areas in the United States, as CEO Debashis Chatterjee seeks to boost growth following its acquisition by engineering conglomerate Larsen & Toubro last year.

The company hired Manikandesh Venkatchalam as SVP and head of strategic large pursuits in October. He was previously vice-president at Genpact.

Mindtree also brought in Vijay Ram as vice-president and head of technology & media in October. Ram was previously Associate Vice President and Global Client Partner at Infosys.


“He (Chatterjee) is filling in the roles and particularly wants to diversify the customer base. One of the things he has highlighted is trying to leverage the large connect with Microsoft to try and win deals in which Microsoft also plays a role,” a source with knowledge of Chatterjee’s plans told ET.

Mindtree, which reported its third-quarter results earlier this week, did not respond to an email seeking comment. Mindtree is already advertising for talent that can help use its connections with Microsoft, an evaluation of professional networking site LinkedIn showed. “Connect with the relevant Microsoft connects for these accounts to explore opportunities where the Adobe + Microsoft + Mindtree relationship can be best leveraged,” a job posting for an Adobe Sales Lead in the United States showed. The job profile was posted last week.
