This remarkable achievement also earned Hexaware a spot among the Top 25 Global IT Services Brands for the first time in 2025. His bold pivot to an AI-first strategy positioned Hexaware as an industry frontrunner, with 99% of its IT workforce, including leadership, now GenAI-trained to deliver scalable enterprise solutions. This strategic foresight unlocked substantial savings for clients through initiatives like Brainbox, which harnessed 5,906 employee-driven innovations.
“This recognition is a testament to our collective vision of redefining the future of IT through innovation, inclusivity, and integrity,” said Srikrishna. “Our focus remains on delivering transformative value to clients, empowering our talent, and leading the charge toward a sustainable digital economy.”
