Nisum is entering a new phase of its two-decade history as founder Imtiaz Mohammady moves from the CEO role to chairman and Anurag Chauhan takes over as chief executive.
The leadership transition comes as technology consulting firms face growing pressure to help enterprises move from experimentation with emerging technologies to measurable business outcomes.
Founded in 2000, Nisum has grown into a global technology consulting and digital engineering company. Mohammady will remain involved in the company’s long-term strategy and direction, while Chauhan will take responsibility for its next stage of growth.
Chauhan brings more than 30 years of experience across technology services and business transformation. His previous leadership roles include positions at Motorola, Accenture and Coforge, as well as CEO and president of Nous Infosystems.
His career has included leading global teams, developing client relationships and scaling technology businesses through periods of technological and market change.
For Nisum, his appointment puts an executive with experience across large technology organizations at the center of its next chapter.
“When we started Nisum in 2000, we set out to build a company that could grow beyond any one individual while staying true to its people, its clients, and its values,” said Mohammady, who will now serve as chairman.
The founder said Chauhan understands both the foundation Nisum has built and the opportunity ahead of the company.
Chauhan’s first priority, however, will be to understand that foundation before attempting to change it.
“I am honored to join Nisum,” Chauhan said. “My first priority is to listen and learn from our teams and our clients, and then build on that foundation as we shape Nisum’s next stage of growth.”
That next stage will include a greater focus on technologies such as artificial intelligence and data, alongside digital platforms and technology modernization.
As CEO, Chauhan will work on deepening Nisum’s relationships with existing clients while expanding the company’s global capabilities and identifying new growth opportunities across its offices and delivery centers.
The timing reflects a broader shift in enterprise technology spending.
Companies are increasingly looking for technology partners that can combine engineering capabilities with a deeper understanding of business priorities. The challenge is no longer simply implementing new technologies, but determining where technologies such as AI can produce practical business results.
That creates an increasingly important role for technology services companies such as Nisum.
Rather than positioning AI as a standalone technology initiative, the company is looking to integrate it with data, digital platforms and modernization projects for enterprise clients.
The leadership change therefore marks more than a change in title for Nisum.
Mohammady’s move to chairman preserves the founder’s involvement while giving Chauhan responsibility for the company’s operational leadership and future growth.
After more than two decades under its founder, Nisum will now have a new executive at the helm as enterprises enter what could be one of the most significant periods of technological transformation since the company’s founding.
