ChrysCapital-backed Xoriant appoints former LTIMindtree executive as CEO

California-based software engineering and digital services company Xoriant, controlled by Indian private equity firm ChrysCapital, has announced the appointment of former LTIMindtree executive Rohit Kedia as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO). He will succeed Sukamal Banerjee in the role.

Kedia brings over 28 years of experience in technology and digital engineering, having previously served as Chief Growth Officer at LTIMindtree, where he was the global leader for all technology practices and product businesses.

Before joining LTIMindtree, he held several key roles at Larsen & Toubro Infotech. Earlier in his career, Kedia spent nearly two decades with the tech giant Infosys, serving in various leadership positions to drive the company’s growth.

Sanjay Jalona, Chairman of the Board at Xoriant, said, “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.”

Kedia commented, “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’s academic background includes a B.Tech degree in Chemical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University), Varanasi.

Earlier this month, in an interview with TechCircle, Xoriant's President of Global Markets, Mukund Rao, stated that India remains the company’s central hub for delivering capabilities to clients. He emphasised that when assessing assets, particularly in data, Xoriant prioritises a strong presence in India to enable better integration, scalability, and cross-selling opportunities, ultimately improving acquisition success rates.
