BENGALURU: The leadership transition at Wipro occurred earlier than anticipated, while LTIMindtree is currently engaged in succession planning. Both organisations seem to favour internal candidates for the CEO position.

As Debashis Chatterjee's tenure as LTIMindtree CEO will end next year, two internal candidates are competing for the role: COO Nachiket Deshpande and president of sales Sudhir Chaturvedi. According to sources, Deshpande is relocating to the US. However, TOI couldn't independently verify this information.

In 2018, before the acquisition, LTI named Deshpande as its COO. He is also overseeing the implementation of MCA21. Deshpande previously served as Cognizant's SVP and global delivery head for banking and financial services, reporting to Chatterjee, who was then EVP and president of global delivery at the Nasdaq-listed company. Since joining LTIMindtree, Chaturvedi has been a key strategist of the company's transformation across brand development, market development, and business development activities.
