Coforge Ltd, an Indian IT services firm, has appointed Akhil Gupta as its Chairperson and Non-Executive Independent Director for five years, effective September 29, 2026. The announcement came after a rigorous global search process. Gupta, a former Vice Chairman of Bharti Enterprises, has over 40 years of experience. The appointment follows the abrupt resignation of previous chairman O P Bhatt and the NRC chairperson D K Singh, which had caused a drop in the company's market value. Coforge maintains its revenue guidance despite the leadership changes.
