Newgen names Tarun Nandwani chief executive from August 2026

Newgen Software Technologies Limited has appointed Tarun Nandwani as chief executive officer, effective August 1, 2026, and created a chief growth officer post for Pramod Kumar. The company said the changes are intended to support its next phase of international expansion in AI-powered enterprise software.

The appointments follow the previously announced resignation of Virender Jeet and are designed to maintain leadership continuity, according to Newgen. The company said Nandwani will oversee strategy, innovation, operations and global execution, while Kumar will lead its worldwide growth plans.

Leadership changes

Nandwani has been part of Newgen’s senior leadership team and has worked on the expansion of global operations, delivery standards, customer success and organisational development, the company said. Newgen said his knowledge of its business, customer base and workforce informed the board’s decision to appoint him CEO.

Kumar has spent more than 27 years in Newgen’s leadership ranks, according to the company. In the newly created chief growth officer role, he will be responsible for market expansion, strategic partnerships, ecosystem development, sales effectiveness, customer acquisition and long-term revenue growth across global markets.

Newgen’s board said the two executives had contributed to the company’s development over many years and that enterprises are increasingly looking beyond process automation toward AI-led operations. The board said Newgen’s position in enterprise software gives it an opportunity to support customers as they redesign operations around artificial intelligence.

AI and enterprise software focus

Newgen sells enterprise software used to manage processes, content, communications, data and AI on a unified platform. The company describes this model as an orchestration layer, in which workflows, decisions and customer interactions can be coordinated across business functions with governance and control.

The company said customers are moving from isolated AI deployments toward broader changes in how they operate. In Newgen’s view, that shift is increasing demand for platforms that can connect content, business processes and AI tools rather than leaving automation projects separated across departments or systems.

Nandwani said Newgen’s strategy is to help organisations apply intelligence across processes, interactions and decisions. He said the company would build on its platform, teams and customer relationships as it pursues sustainable global growth.

Kumar said Newgen has long supported enterprise content and business processes for organisations worldwide. He said the company’s AI-powered NewgenONE platform is intended to turn enterprise content into a knowledge base that business processes and applications can use with stronger accuracy, governance and explainability.

According to Kumar, customers are seeking partners that can modernise operations, extract business value from AI and deliver measurable outcomes. He said his priorities include expanding Newgen’s global presence, strengthening partnerships and deepening customer relationships.

Newgen said the revised leadership structure is meant to support customer engagement, entry into new markets, partnership development and value creation for customers, employees, partners and shareholders.
