Digitide Solutions Limited has announced the appointment of Sameer Ahluwalia as chief executive officer (CEO) and executive director (ED), effective June 1, 2026.
The appointment signals a clear strategic intent as Digitide enters its next phase of growth. As CEO and ED, Sameer will drive the company’s agenda with focused priorities, strengthening operational discipline, scaling its AI and digital practice, improving profitability, accelerating large-deal acquisition, and expanding both domestic and international markets.
The appointment follows a significant phase of leadership under Gurmeet Chahal, who played an instrumental role in shaping Digitide’s strategic direction and laying a strong foundation for its future growth. During his tenure, the company successfully completed its demerger from Quess Corp, strengthened its strategic focus, enhanced leadership depth and expanded its capabilities. The board expresses its sincere appreciation to Gurmeet for his leadership and contributions and wishes him continued success in his future endeavours.
Sameer brings more than two decades of global leadership experience in building, scaling, and transforming businesses across North America, Europe, the UK, and India. He has extensive expertise in driving profitable growth, turnaround and restructuring, P&L management and digital and AI initiatives.
Most recently, Sameer was associated with Alvarez and Marsal as managing director, where he focused on building a cross-border value creation and transformation practice catering to private equity sponsors, portfolio companies, and mid-market enterprises. Prior to this, as group president at Firstsource, he led the transformation of a globally distributed BPM and B2B services organisation, strengthening profitability, integrating acquired businesses, and repositioning the company toward technology-led and domain-focused services. Earlier, he was part of the founding leadership team that helped scale HCL Technologies’ global BFSI-BPO and platform business, leading large-scale transformation and digital programs for global financial institutions.
Having worked extensively across global markets and diverse business environments, Sameer brings a unique blend of operational leadership, transformation expertise, and growth-focused execution that aligns strongly with Digitide’s strategic priorities.
Commenting on the announcement, chairman, Digitide Solutions Limited, said, “Gurmeet played an instrumental role in leading Digitide through the demerger process and in defining our AI-first vision. We are grateful for his leadership and wish him every success ahead. We are delighted to welcome Sameer as the CEO and ED of Digitide Solutions. Sameer is a seasoned business leader with a proven track record of scaling global businesses, driving transformation, and delivering sustainable growth. His expertise across large P&L management, business services, India and Global corridors, digital and AI-led transformation makes him ideally positioned to lead Digitide’s next phase of growth. We are confident that Sameer’s leadership will help accelerate innovation, strengthen client partnerships, and create significant value for customers, employees, and shareholders.”
Meanwhile, CEO and ED, Digitide Solutions Limited, said, “Digitide has built a strong foundation and is uniquely positioned to capitalise on the growing demand for AI-led business transformation. As we enter the next phase of growth my priorities will be centred on driving profitable growth, modernising and scaling our core businesses, expanding our international and tech and digital capabilities, strengthening operational excellence, and accelerating large strategic opportunities across key markets. At the same time, we will continue investing in our people and culture to ensure Digitide remains a destination for top talent and a great place to work. I look forward to working closely with our customers, employees, management teams and partners to drive sustainable growth, create meaningful business outcomes, and deliver long-term value for our shareholders”
Gurmeet and Sameer will work in close coordination during the transition period to ensure business continuity and leadership stability. Digitide remains focused on executing its growth strategy — expanding its AI-led capabilities, deepening client relationships, and extending its global footprint across key industry verticals.
