New Leadership, talent strategy to make Tech Mahindra world-leading entity: CEO Mohit Joshi
Tech Mahindra has restructured its global operations following the exit of some of its employees after the succession of the CEO role to Mohit Joshi, who has been with the company since its founding and is one of the longest-serving chief executives in the IT industry, CP Gurnani.
"Our talent is the engine driving Tech Mahindra's transformation. We are doing what it takes to make TechM not just a world-leading, but a world-beating organisation, whether that means creating new roles, nurturing internal talent, or bringing in bold new leadership," Joshi told PTI in an email interview.
The company has appointed new leaders for several verticals and elevated internal senior employees between August 2023 and June 2025 to lead key divisions at the organisation in global roles.
"We have restructured our global operations into six focused Strategic Business Units; each aligned with our delivery priorities and designed to accelerate our multi-year growth agenda. We have carefully calibrated leadership roles to blend experience, expertise, and future focus. This balance of continuity and fresh perspective gives us the edge to deliver on our FY'27 ambitions," Joshi said.
For the financial year 2027, Tech Mahindra has set goals to achieve higher average growth than its peers and expects the current fiscal year to surpass FY'25.
The company initiated the process of installing new leadership with the appointment of Atul Soneja as Chief Operating Officer in August 2023, from New Jersey-based CitiusTech.
The company elevated Harshvendra Soin to President for Asia Pacific and Japan Business in January 2024, who had also served as Country Head for Canada and Head of Business HR for APAC and EMEA (Telecom and Enterprise) at Tech Mahindra.
In the leadership reshuffle, the company has appointed nine new leaders and elevated seven leaders to global roles in the last two years, with the recent hiring being the appointment of Amol Phadke as Chief Transformation Officer of Tech Mahindra in June 2025.
Joshi said the impact of new leadership was reflected in the June quarter, where EBIT margins improved for seven consecutive quarters and have now reached 11.1 per cent, compared to 10.5 per cent last year.
Tech Mahindra reported a 34 per cent growth in consolidated profit to Rs 1,141 crore, while its revenue grew by 2.7 per cent to Rs 13,351 crore during the June 2025 quarter.

Trump's Ten: Realty majors to promoters in hot markets
From long-standing realty majors to flamboyant start-ups — some with politicians among owners and stakeholders, and a few others on the radar of investigative agencies. This is the US President's Ten: a diverse mix of companies that has teamed up with The Trump Organization or its licensed partner in India Tribeca Developers to showcase the brand in the country. In 2023, a year before Trump was elected again as President, the promoters of three realty companies in this team were arrested in 2023 on charges of allegedly bribing a judicial officer in Haryana. The case is ongoing but an adverse verdict could leave The Trump Organization potentially vulnerable under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act — the 1977 law that prohibits US companies or their business partners from bribing, or unduly influencing, foreign officials to advance a business deal. The Act has currently been paused by the Trump administration. Rohan Landscapes: In 2011, The Trump Organization inked its first deal in India with Rohan Landscapes, a company formed in 2007, for a 45-60 storey building in Mumbai's Chowpatty. The project fizzled out after the Maharashtra government denied permission to amalgamate two plots due to several alleged irregularities. Rohan Landscapes chairman Harresh Mehta has also been part of a CBI probe into an alleged SBI loan fraud case since 2016. Panchshil Realty: The Trump Organization's next deal in India was with this Pune-based firm in 2012. A year before the deal was announced, the then Leader of Opposition in the Maharashtra Assembly Eknath Khadse had raised allegations of a land scam and sought to link NCP leader Sharad Pawar's family to the Panchshil Group. At that time, Pawar's daughter Supriya Sule and her husband held 8% stake in a Panchshil subsidiary. Panchshil Realty was founded by Atul Chordia in 2002. In 2017, an FIR was filed in Pune naming Chordia along with other builders for alleged forgery related to acquiring 326 acres. In 2022, the Bombay High Court quashed the FIR. In 2018, Pune Municipal Corporation initiated action after accusing Panchshil of allegedly cutting 500 trees illegally near the Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary — the company denied any wrongdoing. Lodha Group: In 2013, The Trump Organization announced a 78-storey tower in Mumbai's Worli with the Lodha Group (now Macrotech Developers), which was founded in 1980 by Mangal Prabhat Lodha, the BJP MLA from Malabar Hills since 1995. Now Minister of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship in the Maharashtra government, Lodha served as the BJP's state president during 2019-2022. Ireo Group: In 2016, The Trump Organization signed its fourth deal in India before Tribeca Developers entered the picture. The project with Ireo Group was labelled as the first Trump-branded commercial property under a branding and design agreement for an office tower at Gurgaon's Golf Course Extension Road — but it never took off. Founded in 2004, the Ireo Group was accused of 'large-scale fraud' and 'illegally siphoning off' at least $147 million of investor money by two global investment companies based in New York and London that had put nearly $300 million in the realty company, The Washington Post reported in 2018 — the company had earlier denied the charges. In 2021, the Enforcement Directorate arrested Lalit Goyal under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) on charges of allegedly diverting more than Rs 2,600 crore belonging to homebuyers and investors through offshore entities in offshore tax havens. In 2023, he was arrested over charges of allegedly bribing a judicial officer in Haryana's Panchkula. Goyal is on bail. Unimark & RDB: In 2017, Tribeca teamed up with Unimark Group and RDB Group for a 38-storey residential Trump Tower in Kolkata. Unimark was founded in 1996 by Harsh Vardhan Patodia. In 2015 and in 2016, its pharmaceutical arm Unimark Remedies reportedly received warning letters from the USFDA for alleged quality-control issues. Subsequently, the company entered insolvency proceedings. RDB Group was founded in 1981 by Sunder Lal Dugar. Shortly after Donald Trump Jr's visit to promote Trump Tower Kolkata, the Income Tax Department raided the offices of the RDB Group in February 2018. Earlier in 2011, SEBI barred RDB Group company RDB Rasayans and its promoters from accessing markets for four years for routing IPO funds as loans to RDB Realty & Infrastructure without adequate disclosure. M3M & Smartworld Developers: In 2018, Tribeca launched Trump Towers in Gurugram with M3M Group founded in 2010 by Basant, Roop and Pankaj Bansal. Tribeca announced its second project in Gurugram this April with Smartworld Developers established in 2021 by the same promoters behind the M3M Group. In 2023, the Enforcement Directorate arrested the M3M promoters, raided multiple offices of M3M and Ireo in Gurugram and Delhi. M3M was charged with allegedly siphoning of up to Rs 400 crore from the Ireo Group through shell companies and bribing a judicial officer in Haryana along with Ireo's Goyal. The M3M promoters were granted bail but the probe under PMLA continues. Kundan Spaces: In March 2025, Tribeca and Kundan Spaces launched a 27-storey commercial twin towers project in Pune — the first Trump-branded office development in India. Kundan Spaces was founded in 1986 by B K Jain. This January, Kundan Spaces managing director Ashish Jain and M3M managing director Pankaj Bansal attended Donald Trump's inauguration alongside Kalpesh Mehta, the founder of Tribeca Developers. IRA Realty: The latest deal for the Trump brand in India was announced this April — two 63-floor residential towers in Hyderabad's Golden Miles to be developed by IRA Realty founded in 2019 by Narsi Reddy Posham. Last month, the owner of one of the land parcels for the project claimed in a public notice that he had not agreed to the development. IRA, Kundan Space, Unimark, RDB, IREO, M3M and SmartWorld did not respond to requests for comment from The Indian Express on project tie-ups linked to The Trump Organization. The Lodha Group declined to comment. Rohan Landscapes and Panchshil Realty do not have any delayed, current or future projects linked to Trump's business interests.

Since first term, Trump real-estate footprint in India expands 3-fold to 11 million sq feet in 6 cities
US President Donald Trump may have called India a 'dead' economy for which he couldn't care less, but for his family-controlled The Trump Organization, India is now the largest market outside the US over the last 10 years. Until last year, it forged multiple tie-ups with top builders and earned at least Rs 175 crore from seven projects in Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata and Gurugram, as per available records. Over the last eight months, Brand Trump has been on an aggressive expansion drive in India. Soon after his election as the 47th President of the United States of America on November 5, 2024, The Trump Organization, along with its Indian partner Tribeca Developers, announced at least six projects in Gurugram, Pune, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Noida and Bengaluru, adding up to 8 million sq feet of realty development. The Trump Organization's earnings from these are yet to be disclosed, but experts said, its partnerships with the biggest builders, not only allows the Trump enterprise to tap into the most lucrative markets in the world's fastest growing economy, but also brings it continuous revenue stream with no financial risk. Of these, three projects totalling around 4.3 million sq ft — more than half of Brand Trump's target — have already been launched in Pune, Gurugram and Hyderabad this year. From the first project announced in India in 2012, Brand Trump's footprint is set to see, by the time these projects are complete, a near four-fold expansion to 11 million square feet, a sharp jump from approximately 3 million sq ft developed until last year. These new ventures bring a sales potential of an estimated at least Rs 15,000 crore, Tribeca shared during the Pune launch of its first commercial development project in March this year. The Trump Organization does not invest directly in construction. It lends its brand for upfront licence fees, or development fees, which could be construction-linked or, in most cases, a 3–5 per cent share in project sales. The properties are typically billed as luxury developments, with flats commanding a premium due to the President's name being attached to them. Those executing the projects in India include big corporates like Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) and established real estate companies such as the Lodha Group, M3M Group, Panchshil Realty, IRA Infra, and Unimark. Kalpesh Mehta-led Tribeca Developers is the official partner of The Trump Organization in India. The Indian Express reached out to the Reliance Group, Tribeca Developers, M3M Group, Unimark Group and Panchshil Group as well as The Trump Organization for this report, but did not receive any comment. The Lodha Group said it is not planning any Trump-branded project at the moment. The Trump Organization, headquartered in NYC, is a family-controlled conglomerate and functions as the main holding company for Donald J. Trump's various business ventures through numerous subsidiaries spanning various industries, including real estate and hospitality. Founded and majority-held by Donald J. Trump, the organisation has his sons Donald J. Trump Jr. and Eric Trump as executive vice-presidents. Until 2017, Donald J. Trump functioned as the president and CEO of The Trump Organization. Upon being elected the President of the USA in 2017, he 'stepped down from day-to-day management' and handed over the operational responsibilities to his sons while retaining the majority-ownership through a trust. Since 2021, he has been described as the chairman of the organisation. Days after he was elected President for the second time, The Trump Organization floated on November 14, 2024, four companies to license the Trump brand name in India. These are: DT Marks Noida 94 LLC, DT Marks Gurgaon 111 LLC, DT Marks Gurgaon 69 LLC, and DT Marks Pune Mundhwa LLC. A month prior to the US elections, DT Marks Hyderabad LLC was incorporated on October 16. The Pune project, announced in March this year, is the first Trump-branded commercial project in the city. In a statement during the launch, Eric Trump, Executive Vice President, The Trump Organization, said, 'India has embraced the Trump brand with remarkable enthusiasm'. In 2024, The Trump Organization received at least $12 million from India, as per his annual financial disclosure report. A bulk of this, $10 million, was paid as 'development fees' by Reliance 4IR Realty, a subsidiary of RIL. Tribeca Developers, M3M subsidiaries, the Lodha Group, Unimark and the RDB Group, paid about $2.2 million as licence and royalty fees for the properties in Gurugram, Mumbai and Kolkata, public financial disclosures by Donald Trump show. Around the time Trump commenced his first tenure as the President in 2017, The Trump Organization entered two realty projects in Kolkata and Gurugram. Earlier, Trump lent his brand to a project each in Pune (2012) and Mumbai (2013). Between 2012 and 2019, The Trump Organization earned up to $11.3 million in fees and royalties from its four India projects — $6 million through DT Marks Worli LLC and $1 million each through DT Marks Pune LLC, DT Tower Gurgaon LLC and DT Tower Kolkata LLC by 2017, according to various tax declarations. In the first two years of his presidency, it had earned $2.3 million, said the New York Times in a report on September 27, 2020. Of the 13 Trump-branded projects in India, two have been completed, two are nearing completion, and three are in early stages of development, three are awaiting launch, two are stalled, and one by Reliance 4IR is yet to be announced. Earlier, Donald Trump Jr, the other Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization, identified India as 'the biggest push for our organization' on the website of Tribeca Developers, its licensed partner in India. Tribeca is founded by Mehta, an alumnus of University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, who in an interview to Hindustan Times last November, said he was introduced to Trump Jr (also from Wharton) by a professor who made the deal happen.

MLA Anmol Gagan Mann inaugurates water supply project
1 2 Mohali: MLA Anmol Gagan Mann on Tuesday inaugurated the construction of the first phase of the Rs 22.15 crore surface water supply project at New Sunny Enclave, Jandpur Road, Kharar. Addressing the public gathering, MLA Mann stated that the long-standing commitment to provide surface water supply from Kajauli Water Works Pipeline was fulfilled with the commencement of pipeline laying. The first phase of the project, slated for completion by September 2026, marks a significant step towards ensuring clean and sustainable water supply for Kharar residents. She informed that the entire Kajauli Water Supply Project is estimated at Rs 150 crore, with Tuesday's launched phase accounting for Rs 22.15 crore. The first phase will benefit the localities of Jhungian, Mandair Nagar, Harlalpur, Jandpur, and Chandigarh Road area. Subsequent phases will extend the coverage to the remaining parts of Kharar city. Under this project, water will be sourced from the existing GMADA Clear Water Pipeline at Sihnpur, which channels water from Kajauli to Mohali. This water will be stored in an upcoming Underground Service Reservoir (UGSR) of 54 lakh litres capacity at Jandpur, near the Community Centre, from where it will be distributed through an extensive pipeline network. To maintain consistent water pressure and supply, two overhead water tanks of 18 lakh litres and 9 lakh litres capacity will be constructed at Jandpur and Mandair Nagar, respectively. A total of 8.1 km of Ductile Iron (DI) supply pipelines will be laid during this phase. "This project was a key promise I made to the people of Kharar. Today, I am more than happy to keep my word and ensure that our residents get access to surface water supply," said MLA Mann. She added that major civic demands, including sewage treatment plants and water supply, were already addressed, and she will remain committed to resolving other pending issues in the coming days.
