Nitesh Banga

Nitesh Banga has been leading IT services company Virtusa's transformation into an AI-native enterprise while helping global organisations accelerate enterprise-scale AI adoption from India. Over the past year, he has driven the establishment of AI-native global capability centres, enabling enterprises to move beyond AI experimentation toward agentic software engineering and product delivery.

Under his leadership, Virtusa has helped clients rapidly reskill their workforce for the AI era while introducing new delivery models that combine AI with engineering to improve productivity and accelerate innovation. The company's AI-first approach has demonstrated how India's technology talent and GCC ecosystem can become central to enterprise AI transformation worldwide.

Banga believes India's AI ecosystem has entered a new phase where organisations are focusing on becoming AI-native rather than simply adopting AI tools. He sees India's engineering talent, innovation ecosystem, and GCC leadership as key advantages in driving the next wave of global enterprise AI adoption.
