Former HCL boss Arjun Malhotra joins Accolite as Chairman

Bengaluru: Former HCL boss and IT pioneer Arjun Malhotra has joined Accolite as Chairman to its Advisory Board.

Accolite is a new age digital transformation technology services company providing Product Engineering Technology solutions with offices across the US, UK and India. 

“My aim is to ensure a 10 fold growth over the next 5 years across Accolite’s core verticals,” says Malhotra, who in 1975 co-founded and grew the HCL group from a six-person “garage operation” to one of India’s largest Information Technology corporations.

Malhotra served as Chairman of Headstrong’s Board of Directors before its acquisition by Genpact in May 2011. Prior to Headstrong he was Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of TechSpan, which merged with Headstrong in October 2003. Malhotra led the seamless integration across businesses and cultures, resulting in Headstrong’s recognition as one of the fastest growing IT-based Financial Services companies.

“I look forward to leveraging my experiences and insights from Headstrong and HCL to influence Customer Success and Growth at Accolite,” added Malhotra.

Accolite CEO Leela Kaza said, “BFSI continues to be our corner stone of growth and our aspiration is to generate $100M annual revenue in the BFSI vertical by 2023.”
