Nasscom names SAP Labs India’s Sindhu Gangadharan as chairperson

Information technology (IT) sector lobby Nasscom has appointed SAP Labs India managing director Sindhu Gangadharan as its chairperson with immediate effect.

Gangadharan takes over from Rajesh Nambiar, who has been named president-designate at the industry lobby. Nambiar had last week stepped down as chairman and managing director at US-based IT services firm Cognizant Technology Solutions to take over the new role.

“Nasscom has played a pivotal role in propelling India’s emergence as a global innovation leader. With our nation’s robust engineering R&D capabilities, innovative potential, and extensive digital talent pool, India is well-positioned to spearhead large-scale digital transformations that are sustainable and inclusive. I am excited to further deepen my contributions to this remarkable journey,” Gangadharan said.

Gangadharan was appointed as the chairperson of the Nasscom GCC Council last year.

“Nasscom welcomes @gangadharansind as its Chairperson, who will succeed @RNamb. Her leadership will continue to drive innovation, foster global partnerships, and strengthen India’s position as a leading technology hub,” the IT sector lobby posted on X.
