A good business leader today is not just a resource manager; they are a decoder of the future. Leaders are those who understand how new tools impact the business model, align the right talent to leverage them, and have the courage to change course when the ecosystem demands it.
The true value of a company lies not only in its technology or capital, but in who is at the helm. According to MIT data, companies with leaders truly prepared for the digital age outperform their competitors with 48% higher revenue growth and 15% higher margins. In times when AI promises to be the market, having the best software is useless without a mind capable of orchestrating it. That strategic vision is the fine line between leading the industry or falling into obsolescence.
This is where Ness Digital Engineering comes into the picture. With over 25 years of experience creating proprietary platforms and accelerating product development, the company has just announced a crucial leadership move for this new era: the appointment of Sudip Singh as its new CEO, effective March 1, 2026.
The focus on expansion in Latin America
After a successful stint as CEO of ITC Infotech and global leader at Infosys, Sudip Singh arrives to take the baton from Dr. Ranjit Tinaikar, who is stepping down after six years with the company. Singh takes on the challenge with a clear vision of where the engineering and software services market is heading.
“Ness’s strong presence and deep specialization have built platforms that run some of the world’s most critical businesses,” Singh said in a press release.
“This foundation uniquely positions us to navigate the AI economy, where value comes from delivering real business outcomes. I am excited to lead Ness, with our clients’ success as our absolute true north.”
Singh’s major challenge for 2026 will be scaling the company’s recent innovations, such as ATONIS, a full-lifecycle artificial intelligence workbench designed to amplify human productivity in software development.
Ness doesn’t just develop these tools; it measures their real impact. The company recently tracked over a hundred engineers using AI copilots in live production environments. The results confirmed what many suspected: 70% of developers reported an improvement in job satisfaction.
The legacy the new CEO inherits also has a strong strategic component for our region. In 2025, under the leadership of Dr. Tinaikar, Ness opened its new offices in Guadalajara, Mexico. This move not only strengthened its global network of artificial intelligence centers of excellence but also consolidated its presence in Latin America, a vital nearshoring hub for its North American partners.
