Enterprise Trust Meets AI Adoption

For global enterprises, deploying AI at scale remains a challenge—not due to lack of use cases, but due to reliability and infrastructure readiness. Saha highlighted the same priority: “The next era of enterprise transformation is being powered by AI – yet true impact will be realised only when AI is paired with deep expertise in reliable, scalable technology deployment.”

He added that NTT DATA’s long-standing work on mission-critical systems gives it a foundation to lead AI-powered reinvention.

Strategic Intent and Industry Positioning

Abhijit Dubey, President and CEO of NTT DATA, Inc., expressed confidence in the appointment: “I look forward to working with Bratin to position NTT DATA as the leading global AI-native services provider in the industry.”

With this move, NTT DATA is clearly aligning its future growth engines around AI supporting clients who are shifting from AI experimentation to AI-driven operations.

Dr Saha holds a PhD in Computer Science from Yale University, is an alumnus of Harvard Business School, and has been recognised by IIT with a Distinguished Alumnus award.
