QX Global Group has appointed Vijay Pahuja as its new Group Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately, as the company strengthens its focus on AI-powered knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) and business transformation. Pahuja succeeds Pom Chakravarti, who will remain on the QX Global Board and continue supporting the company through strategic client relationships.
The leadership transition comes as QX Global builds on its AI capabilities and expands its technology-enabled services across finance, accounting, recruitment, insurance, and industry-specific knowledge services for mid-market organizations across the US, UK, and Europe.
Vijay Pahuja joins QX Global with more than 25 years of experience leading service-based organizations focused on digital transformation, AI adoption, and operational scaling. Most recently, he served at Sutherland Global Services, where he led business verticals across financial services and insurance while building the company's insurance business into a market leader through large-scale agentic AI deployment.
Earlier leadership roles at WNS, Cognizant, and IBM saw Pahuja oversee the expansion of global delivery operations across financial services, insurance, and enterprise technology services.
QX Global has already established a strong AI foundation that includes an AI acceleration lab, agentic AI architecture, and purpose-built platforms operating within client environments.
Under Pahuja's leadership, the company plans to expand these capabilities with a focus on measurable business outcomes such as operational efficiency, margin improvement, and scalable growth without proportional increases in workforce size.
The company's approach emphasizes collaboration between AI technologies and human expertise, where AI automates operational workloads while professionals provide decision-making, governance, and industry expertise.
Company leadership believes the appointment positions QX Global for its next phase of expansion in AI-powered knowledge services.
“Vijay brings exactly the combination QX needs to take QX into its next chapter: commercial depth, operational discipline, and a clear-eyed view of how AI will reshape knowledge services,” said Abid Neemuchwala, Chairman of QX Global Group and former CEO of Wipro.
Long Ridge Equity Partners, which backs QX Global, also emphasized the company's commitment to investing in AI technologies while expanding into additional industry sectors.
“QX has a strong foundation - outstanding delivery culture, long-standing client relationships, and a talented delivery team. Vijay's appointment signals our intent to accelerate the expansion of the platform by investing in technologies that make the services better, and scaling into categories where QX has the right to lead,” said Angad Singh, Partner at Long Ridge Equity Partners.
Pahuja stated that his immediate priority will be building on QX Global's existing strengths in finance, accounting, recruitment, and knowledge services while embedding AI deeper into business operations.
“QX has built a genuine leadership position serving the mid-market - the businesses that power the global economy - through long-standing client relationships and a team with real expertise across finance, accounting, recruitment and complex knowledge services. My focus is to take that foundation further: go deeper into the sectors we know, put AI-led transformation into the hands of our people, and deliver outcomes our clients can measure in their growth, their margins, and their capacity to compete.”
The company currently employs more than 3,000 professionals across India, the UK, and the Americas while serving clients throughout the US, UK, and Europe.
