LTIMindtree, a prominent IT services company, announces Chetana Patnaik as the new Chief Human Resource Officer (CHRO), effective April 1, 2024.

The current CHRO, Manoj Shikarkhane, transitions to a new strategic role within the organization, amidst ongoing executive reshuffling.

Patnaik, previously Head of Human Resources & CSR for L&T’s Transportation Infrastructure business, brings 27 years of HR experience to her new role.

Her appointment follows the recent resignation of CFO Vinit Teredesai and the appointment of Vipul Chandra in his place, amid ongoing leadership changes.

Patnaik’s involvement in the HR integration of LTI and Mindtree after L&T’s acquisition of Mindtree Limited positions her strategically as the new CHRO.

Patnaik’s responsibilities include overseeing HR functions for over 6000 employees, focusing on talent pipeline development, learning initiatives, and fostering an inclusive culture.

With CEO Debashis Chatterjee set to retire in 2025, Patnaik’s appointment is part of LTIMindtree’s strategic planning for smooth leadership transition and sustained growth.

Internal candidates like COO Nachiket Deshpande and President Sudhir Chaturvedi are potential successors for the CEO role, emphasizing the company’s focus on talent development and succession planning.

Patnaik’s appointment reflects LTIMindtree’s commitment to human capital nurturing and leadership team strengthening, aiming for sustained growth and innovation amidst the ongoing transition.
