Coforge Appoints Akhil Kumar Gupta as Chairperson Following Board Resignations
Coforge Ltd has appointed Akhil Kumar Gupta, former vice chairman of Bharti Enterprises, as its chairperson and non-executive independent director for a five-year term starting September 29. His appointment follows recent boardroom turmoil, including the resignations of former chairman O P Bhatt and nomination committee chairperson D K Singh amid governance concerns. The company conducted a global search with Egon Zehnder, narrowing 60 candidates to Gupta, who brings over 40 years of experience and currently chairs multiple boards. The appointment aims to stabilize Coforge's leadership and governance.
