Mumbai: Srinivasan Panchapakesan has been appointed as President and Chief Platform Officer at Hexaware Technologies (NSE: HEXT), marking the creation of a new leadership role aimed at strengthening the company’s platform-led strategy for the agentic AI era. The appointment is effective immediately.
In his new role, Srinivasan Panchapakesan will lead the development, integration, and scaling of Hexaware’s platform portfolio, including Amaze for cloud modernization, RapidX for AI-accelerated software engineering, Tensai for agentic IT operations, and Agentverse for enterprise AI agents.
He will also deepen Hexaware’s collaboration with AI ecosystem partners across the AI-native software development lifecycle while overseeing the roadmap, governance, and enterprise-scale adoption of the company’s unified platform portfolio.
The newly created role reinforces Hexaware’s platform-led strategy as enterprises increasingly seek to move artificial intelligence beyond isolated pilot projects into production environments.
Rather than operating as standalone products, the company’s platforms are being consolidated under a unified AI-native foundation that enables clients to adopt modernization capabilities through a single integrated approach.
Under the leadership of Srinivasan Panchapakesan, the platforms will function as a connected ecosystem instead of operating independently.
The integrated portfolio will run across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud alongside hyperscaler services, helping enterprises modernize their technology environments through AI-native services.

Srinivasan Panchapakesan brings more than 35 years of industry experience to the role, including over 27 years at Hexaware. During his tenure, he has led platform engineering, delivery operations, and complex program execution across multiple industries.
Most recently, he served as Senior Corporate Vice President & Global Delivery Head for Digital & Software. He is one of the principal architects, together with his team, behind Amaze and RapidX, which form the foundation of Hexaware’s platform-led services strategy.
Throughout his career at Hexaware, Srinivasan Panchapakesan has led several complex engagements spanning banking, insurance, life sciences, and manufacturing sectors. His credentials include more than 200 certifications, along with published thought leadership on platform strategy and AI-native delivery.
“Platforms are central to how we will serve enterprise clients over the next decade, and this role reflects that priority,” said R. Srikrishna, CEO and Executive Director, Hexaware.
“Srinivasan has the technical depth and the client understanding to lead it, and I have every confidence in what he will build.”
Srinivasan Panchapakesan, President and Chief Platform Officer, Hexaware, said: “Every enterprise is asking the same question right now. How do we move from AI pilots to AI that is grounded in our own code, our own data, and our own decisions?
When strong platforms grow in silos, their value fragments instead of reinforcing each other. Bringing them onto one foundation closes that gap for us and for our clients, so every platform and every engagement draws on the same knowledge and AI-native services, and clients get auditable, agentic AI they can trust in production.”
According to Hexaware, the new charter has been designed to remove the friction that slows enterprise modernization while helping organizations bridge the gap between their current digital capabilities and their long-term AI transformation goals.
