The name of Mamatha Chamarthi, originally listed as the Senior Vice President and Chief Digital Officer for the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, appears to have been scrubbed off the company’s official corporate website.

Although a simple Google search of the Indian-American executive does show the link for her profile on the leadership page, clicking on it leads you nowhere. As of today, Chamarthi’s official page from the Goodyear Corporate appears to have been removed, while a “Sorry! We couldn’t find the page you’re looking for” prompt flashes on the landing page.

The unprecedented development seems to have been spurred into action shortly after viral posts accusing the Goodyear Chief Digital Officer of “baldfaced fraud” surfaced online.

Viral post raises fraud allegations against Indian-American exec

A popular account on X, ‘@WokeCapital’ aka Karl Hollywood, pushed out a news flash earlier this week. “Another bombshell case of baldfaced fraud and kickbacks involving a new Indian Chief Digital Officer Mamatha Chamarthi, this time at Goodyear in Akron. She is overseeing the massive outsourcing of jobs to India,” the user tweeted. “One of the companies bidding on such contracts is, you guessed it, Accenture.”

Although the X post has amassed hundreds of thousands of views since it was posted a few days ago, the claims traced back to a Reddit source. Over a week ago, a netizen shared a blog post titled “Goodyear vendor bidding on contracts giving money to Exec’s 3rd party Org…” under the Akron community thread. The user hit out against Goodyear for actively outsourcing jobs to India and “various other cheap countries.” They further name-dropped Accenture, which currently under CEO Julie Sweet’s leadership, for allegedly bidding on contracts.

The post ultimately drew attention to Goodyear’s Mamatha Chamarthi, who also happens to the founder of an organisation called T200. According to its website, T200 was formed in 2016, finding its beginning in a small group of women. The organisationis dedicated to “advancing and elevating women in technology.” Its website further states, “The group was named ‘T200’ – ‘T’ for technology, and ‘200’ representing the goal of connecting at least 200 women C-level technology executives from large-cap companies. However, achieving this goal underscored the existing pipeline problem for women in technology – the challenge of elevating capable women into leadership positions.”

Sharing screenshots as receipts, the Reddit post turns the focus to Accenture reportedly hosting T200’s annual conference in September. T200’s official website page dedicated to the event called SOAR 2025, slated from September 15 to 17 in Chicago, confirms the claims, highlighting Accenture, 500 W. Madison St. Chicago, Il 60661, as the “2025 Location.” The event brought on Accenture’s CEO Julie Sweet, Goodyear’s CEO Mark Stewart and others as speakers for this year’s annual outing.

It has since been reported that shortly after the conference in question, Sweet and Accenture made a “generous donation” to Chamarthi’s “third-party org,” according to a post T200 shared on LinkedIn earlier.

Subsequently, Karl Hollywood said in his X post, “Lo and behold, shortly after the annual meeting, Accenture made a very generous donation to this small org supporting ~200 some-odd female tech execs, apparently employing some 60+ employees (WHAT?!).”

The bewildered user raised even bigger questions regarding the development, as he added in a follow-up post, “Serious question, what legitimate use for SIXTY employees is there for an organization like T200? That’s a lot of headcount, but when I look at their website, I can’t find a picture of one of their meetups with more than 50 people at MOST.” Hurling serious allegations at the Mamatha Chamarthi and her organisation, he continued, “Why the hell is an org devoted to servicing SENIOR TECH EXECS soliciting donations? This is blatant abuse of 501(c)3 org bulls**t.”

Addressing the accusations to some extent, another user claiming to be a former employee who’d seen in her action at work commented, “Woww.. this is huge.. I can vouch for this because she was with FCA before moving to GoodYear. She moved the whole IT department to India eliminating hundreds of US jobs.” Here, FCA presumably refers to the automaker Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, which is now part of Stellantis.

In a more recent update on the issue, users eventually noted that not only had her Goodyear website profile been removed, her T200 post featuring a clip of her had also been made private.

Has Mamatha Chamarthi been fired?

An official confirmation on the issue is still awaited despite her erasure from the company website seemingly already answering the question for everyone.

Before her move to Goodyear, Mamatha Chamarthi served as chief software business growth officer at Stellantis. In July 2024, a company spokesperson confirmed in a statement to Automotive Dive that she had resigned from the firm to “pursue other opportunities.” Her prior experience also include working as chief digital officer of automotive supplier ZF Group (2016-2019) and as chief digital information officer for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (2019-2021).

Just earlier this year, Mamatha Chamarthi spoke out about challenges faced by Goodyear in the industry. “We are in the tire industry. It’s a low-margin business and it’s a crowded space, so we need to create a differentiator,” she said, as per Diginomica. “We set a very bold, very compelling vision that excites our associates. We said, ‘OK where do we get started? We need to get started with our customer. We need to put the customer the center of this transformation.”

More about Mamatha Chamarthi

Though now apparently based in Michigan, according to her LinkedIn, she shared in a past interview highlighted by GTK Partners that she grew up in Hyderabad, India. “I’ve done my undergraduate in Psychology, Sociology, and English and went on to pursue my master’s in English with a scholarship from the government of India, and then started teaching English all the way up to undergraduate students in a city called Bangalore,” she shared while she was still the CDO of ZF Group.

Divulging more details of her life, she revealed that she ultimately went to a business to pursue her MBA. Soon enough, she met her husband, who “had come to California to San Jose State University to pursue his master’s, his second master’s in electrical and communications engineering.” Mamatha admitted at the time that she finally found her calling in the automotive industry after she made a switch from California to Michigan.
