“Anant Gupta has decided to leave the company to pursue personal interests outside of HCL,” it said in a statement.
It added that the company was elevating C Vijayakumar as the President and CEO of the company with immediate effect.
“Vijay has been a transformational leader in the company leading from the front. His vision and flawless execution trackrecord best positions him for taking our journey forward,” HCL Technologies Chairman and Chief Strategy Officer Shiv Nadar said.
To increase the momentum of the company’s next generation services, Vijayakumar will further accelerate the execution of Mode 1-2-3 strategy to grow the experience-based and business outcome-oriented next generation services, he added.
Vijayakumar will continue to be based in the US. He had been elevated to the role of COO in July this year, taking on additional responsibility, besides heading infrastructure services.
