Tata Technologies has appointed Anand Kumar Sinha as its new Chief Digital and Information Officer (CDIO), strengthening its leadership bench at a time when global engineering and manufacturing clients are accelerating digital transformation programs. Sinha, a technology leader with nearly 30 years of experience across consulting, telecom, analytics, cloud, and enterprise IT, will oversee the company’s digital strategy, AI-led transformation agenda, and enterprise-wide IT modernization.
Sinha’s career reflects a diverse portfolio of technology leadership roles across industries. Prior to joining Tata Technologies, he served as CIO and Global Head of IT at Birlasoft, where he led major digital modernization initiatives, enhanced cybersecurity readiness, and aligned enterprise technology architecture with business expansion goals. His work included the deployment of data-led transformation models and global infrastructure upgrades that improved operational resilience and business agility.
Before Birlasoft, Sinha held senior positions at OCS Group UK, serving as CIO and Director–IT India. There, he drove large-scale digital transformation programs and strengthened cybersecurity and business process re-engineering frameworks across a workforce of more than 16,000 employees. He also played a key role in integrating technology systems across facilities, services, and operations.
Earlier, as Senior Vice President and Head of Technology at BARC India, Sinha managed one of the world’s largest audience measurement platforms. He oversaw advanced analytics engines, cloud operations, IoT-enabled data technologies, and mission-critical broadcast measurement systems, reinforcing the organisation’s digital infrastructure and data integrity.
Sinha’s professional journey includes over a decade at Airtel, where he led IT enablement, shared services operations, and infrastructure transformation across major business units. His foundational years at PCS Technology, Zenith Infotech, and ASTRIC Group of Companies equipped him with hands-on expertise in systems engineering and core technology operations.
Beyond his corporate roles, Sinha is recognised for his contributions to the broader technology ecosystem. He is associated with CIO Klub, CIOs of India, the Computer Society of India, and the CyberEdBoard Community. He also advises MSME Business Forum India and participates actively in TiE Bangalore and Lions Clubs International, reflecting his commitment to mentoring emerging technology leaders and supporting digital innovation in the MSME sector.
In his new role at Tata Technologies, Sinha will lead the organisation’s digital and information strategy, with a focus on AI-driven enterprise solutions, enhanced cybersecurity, and integrated IT modernization. His appointment comes at a time when Tata Technologies is scaling its global digital engineering portfolio and deepening its engagement with manufacturing clients pursuing intelligent automation, smart factories, and connected product ecosystems.
The company stated that Sinha’s experience in large-scale transformation, advanced analytics, and enterprise technology governance will play a critical role in accelerating its mission of engineering a better, more digitally enabled world.
Given the increasing cyber-physical convergence in global manufacturing, Sinha’s mandate also carries a critical risk-management dimension, ensuring that Tata Technologies’ digital acceleration is matched with resilient cybersecurity, strong data-governance frameworks and enterprise-wide controls that safeguard clients’ operations in an era of rising systemic and supply-chain risks.
