“I am delighted to join Zensar and lead this extraordinary organization that stands tall on a bedrock of legacy, highly talented employees, admirable clients and outstanding corporate citizenship. I look forward to working closely with the board and the senior leadership in charting a new growth story to capitalize the fast changing digi-tech landscape,” Bhutoria said.

“I thank Sandeep for his contribution to pivot Zensar from IT to a digital solutions organization, leading and integrating the strategic tuck-in acquisitions and making the organization agile and customer friendly. It is sad to see him leave but I respect his decision and wish him the very best in life. I also take this opportunity to welcome Ajay and look forward to him steering Zensar to the next phase of growth,” Harsh Goenka, chairman at Zensar Technologies, said.
