Nisum is changing leadership at the top as the technology consulting company names Anurag Chauhan its new CEO, with founder Imtiaz Mohammady moving into the role of chairman.
The change gives Chauhan responsibility for leading Nisum’s next phase of growth, while Mohammady will remain involved in the company’s long-term strategy and direction.
Mohammady founded Nisum in 2000 and has led the company since its inception. Over more than two decades, the company has developed into a global technology consulting and digital engineering business serving enterprises navigating technology transformation.
Chauhan arrives with more than 30 years of experience in technology services and business transformation.
His background includes leadership roles at Motorola, Accenture and Coforge. Before joining Nisum, he served as CEO and president of Nous Infosystems.
The executive’s experience scaling technology businesses could become particularly relevant as Nisum looks to expand its capabilities around AI and other emerging technologies.
As CEO, Chauhan will focus on deepening client relationships and expanding Nisum’s global capabilities, with artificial intelligence, data, digital platforms and technology modernization among the areas highlighted by the company.
The strategy reflects a larger opportunity in enterprise technology: companies are increasingly looking for partners that can help them turn investments in AI and other emerging technologies into measurable business results.
For Nisum, that means combining its existing engineering capabilities with newer technology offerings while continuing to expand across its global operations.
Chauhan said his immediate focus will not be on making wholesale changes, but on understanding the organization and its customers.
“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,” he said.
Mohammady similarly framed the transition as part of the company’s evolution rather than a departure from its founding principles.
“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,” he said.
The founder’s transition to chairman allows him to remain closely involved with the company’s strategic direction while giving Chauhan the mandate to lead its operations and growth.
The timing is notable for the technology services sector. Enterprises are moving beyond the initial wave of AI experimentation and increasingly looking for implementation partners capable of connecting technology projects with business priorities.
Nisum’s next phase will therefore depend not only on its ability to develop new technical capabilities, but also on how effectively it can translate those capabilities into outcomes for enterprise customers.
With Chauhan now at the helm and Mohammady continuing as chairman, Nisum is positioning the leadership transition as a way to preserve the company’s existing foundation while giving it new leadership for the next stage of expansion.
