Midcap IT services company Mphasis has announced the appointment of Ayaskant Sarangi as its new Global Chief Human Resource Officer (CHRO). Sarangi will join the Executive Council and report directly to Nitin Rakesh, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Mphasis.

Before joining Mphasis, Sarangi served as CHRO at Wipro Enterprises, where he led human resources functions. He also held various HR leadership roles at Wipro Technologies.

We believe Ayaskant’s strong track record in the IT sector and strategic vision will be pivotal as we continue to attract, develop, and retain top talent globally.”
