Global professional services and solutions firm Genpact on Thursday announced that it has elevated its Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) Piyush Mehta, a Country Manager, India, effective immediately. 

The appointment is part of Genpact’s pivot to an AI-first company. In 2023, Genpact opened and scaled three new operating centres in tier-III cities in India, including Madurai, Jodhpur, and Warangal – expanding its talent base and footprint.

“India remains a strategic talent market for Genpact, and we believe people are the greatest assets for us and our clients,” said BK Kalra, President and CEO, Genpact. “Piyush has a successful track record of building and growing our talent ecosystem over the last 25 years. His experience will be invaluable as we strengthen Genpact’s foundation in India.” 

As the company’s CHRO, Piyush Mehta has played a pivotal role in shaping its Human Resources strategy, Genpact said. In his expanded role, it added, he will leverage his expertise to drive Genpact’s AI first strategy in India, driving value for key India stakeholders while continuing to lead the company’s HR function globally.

“India’s talent has always been a prime differentiator for economic growth in the country,” said Piyush Mehta, CHRO, and Country Manager, India, Genpact. “I am excited to take on this expanded role as we continue to grow our business, empower India’s talented workforce, and contribute to the country’s economic landscape.”
