Sandeep Saxena, a longtime professional, has been promoted to Chief Growth Officer  Growth Markets 2 by HCLTech, one of India’s top international technology services firms.  The company’s increased focus on India as a development engine, along with other high potential markets like the Middle East and Africa, is highlighted by this strategic leadership  change. 

The move is a reflection of HCLTech’s intention to further accelerate company development  across priority markets and its intensified regional emphasis. Saxena will be in charge of  spearheading expansion efforts throughout India and a few other regions in his new position.  Based in Mumbai, he will answer directly to C Vijayakumar, the CEO and Managing  Director. The corporation claims that this change in leadership is consistent with its larger  plan to improve market responsiveness and quicken the momentum of regional expansion. 

India-led Growth from a Leadership Perspective 

Vijayakumar emphasized HCLTech’s longstanding commitment to India’s technological  ecosystem in his remarks about the development. He pointed out that India is one of the  world’s fastest-growing major economies and continues to play a pivotal part in the global  tale of technological growth. 

According to Vijayakumar, HCLTech wants to use its extensive full-stack skills, deep  domain experience, and worldwide reach to assist businesses in implementing next generation technologies and achieving faster business outcomes. Supporting Indian and  regional businesses as they modernize operations and embrace digital transformation is a  tremendous potential, according to the organization.

Saxena stated that he was honored to spearhead HCLTech’s growth goal in key markets,  particularly India, while discussing his thoughts on the new role. He emphasized that the  organization would continue to prioritize improving client relevance through creative,  forward-thinking solutions that have quantifiable and revolutionary effects in actual business  settings. 

Wide-ranging expertise and a solid track record 

Since joining HCLTech in 1998, Saxena has had a stellar career with the organization over  the course of more than 20 years. Throughout his career, he has held a number of senior  leadership positions in several verticals and geographical areas, and he has been instrumental  in expanding the organization’s worldwide reach. 

The corporation emphasized Saxena’s important role in the quick growth of its European  operations. In his most recent position, he oversaw a number of important business sectors,  including energy and natural resources in Europe, travel, retail and consumer packaged  products, and transportation and logistics. Additionally, he was in charge of all non-financial  services verticals in important European markets including France, Italy, and the Iberian area,  which includes Portugal and Spain. HCLTech’s competitive position in these areas was  strengthened and significant customer wins were secured thanks in large part to his  leadership. 

Robust Financial Results and Momentum Driven by AI 

The announcement of the leadership comes soon after HCLTech’s Q3 financial results, which  demonstrated significant momentum in AI-driven engagements and solid performance. As a  result of growing corporate use of AI at scale, the firm stated that its Advanced AI division  has become a crucial growth driver. 

As clients moved from pilot projects to full-scale, paid deployments, Advanced AI revenue  increased to $146 million during the quarter. In Q3 FY26, the segment grew by 19.9 percent  on a quarterly basis in terms of constant currency. The company added around $50 million in  additional AI revenue in a single reporting cycle and reached the $100 million revenue  milestone for the first time in the preceding quarter.
