HCLTech Elevates Sandeep Saxena as Chief Growth Officer

HCLTech, a global leader in technology services, has announced a major strategic pivot toward its home market by elevating company veteran Sandeep Saxena to Chief Growth Officer – Growth Markets 2.

In this newly created leadership role, Sandeep will spearhead HCLTech’s expansion across India, the Middle East, and Africa, signaling the firm’s intent to treat India as a primary engine for its next phase of global growth.

Focus on the India Growth Story

The appointment comes at a time when India is positioned as one of the world’s fastest-growing major economies.

HCLTech CEO & Managing Director, C Vijayakumar, emphasized that the company intends to bring its full-stack capabilities—including AI, engineering, and cloud—to help Indian enterprises accelerate their digital journeys.

This move is also a strategic alignment with the Government of India’s Viksit Bharat and Digital India initiatives, focusing on driving digital transformation within the public sector and developing indigenous intellectual property.

HCLTech Leveraging Global Expertise for Local Impact

Sandeep Saxena, who joined the company in 1998, brings over 25 years of international experience to the role.

He previously served as a key architect of HCLTech’s success in Europe, where he led major verticals including Retail-CPG and Energy & Natural Resources across France, Italy, and Iberia.

Sandeep will be based in Mumbai and will apply his global playbook to “Growth Markets 2.” He will focus on delivering measurable, future-ready solutions to regional clients.

“Our focus will be on driving client relevance through innovative solutions that deliver transformative impact,” Sandeep noted regarding his new mandate.

Financial Strength and Workforce Scale

This leadership shuffle follows a strong financial performance. HCLTech reported consolidated revenues of $14.5 billion for the 12-month period ending December 2025.

HCLTech employs more than 226,300 people across 60 countries.

The firm is leveraging this massive talent pool to dominate emerging sectors like semiconductors, telecom, and life sciences.

HCLTech is doubling down on India to bridge the gap between global technology standards and domestic market needs.

This strategy reinforces the company’s status as a homegrown champion with global scale.
