Evalueserve Names Wipro Veteran Nitin Narkhede as CTO

Evalueserve appointed Nitin Narkhede as chief technology officer. Narkhede joins from Wipro, where he was general manager of Lab45, the company's technology and innovation organization.

He brings more than three decades of experience in technology strategy, enterprise architecture, and product incubation. He has worked across industries including retail, manufacturing, financial services, and automotive, helping incubate and commercialize solutions in AI, cloud, and IoT.

"Nitin understands that strong technology leadership is not about pursuing innovation for its own sake. It is about turning emerging capabilities into solutions that work inside complex enterprises," said Pallab Deb, chief executive officer of Evalueserve. "He brings deep engineering experience, commercial judgment, and a proven ability to take ideas from incubation to market."

Narkhede said Evalueserve has an advantage in the AI era: deep knowledge of how decisions are made within specific industries. "The opportunity is to translate that know-how into technology that is scalable, reusable, and engineered for the realities of the enterprise," he said.

Evalueserve's AI is embedded in core business processes at 30% of the global Fortune 500, including six of the top 10 investment banks and 12 of the largest pharmaceutical companies.

Wipro (WIT), where Narkhede spent his career, carries an Alpha Score of 46 out of 100, reflecting mixed sentiment.

Narkhede holds a master's degree from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras and a bachelor's from COEP Technological University. He is based in Mountain View, California.
