Coforge Limited on Saturday said Anup Kumar, executive vice-president and global head of mergers and acquisitions, has resigned from the company to pursue an entrepreneurial route, drawing the curtain on a two-year stint marked by an aggressive acquisition-led expansion.
“My decision to resign is based solely on my desire to go down the entrepreneurial route, and I wish Coforge the very best in continuing to scale new heights,” Kumar said in his resignation letter.
In an exchange filing, Coforge said Kumar’s resignation will be effective from the close of business hours on April 17, 2026 (USA). In his resignation letter to managing director and CEO Sudhir Singh, Kumar described his tenure as the “most fulfilling period” of his career, citing the execution of five acquisitions—Xceltrait, TMLabs, Rythmos, Opt ML, and Encora—and the integration of Cigniti.
Kumar said the company also divested the non-core Advantage Go business during this period, while scaling revenue from about $1.1 billion when he joined in May 2025 to around $2.5 billion following the closing of the Encora transaction, driven by industry-leading organic growth and inorganic expansion.
Noting that regulatory approvals for the Encora deal have already been secured, Kumar said the company is operationally ready to close the transaction in the near term and requested to be relieved “as soon as practical”.
Separately, Coforge also informed exchanges that Manish Hemrajani, head of investor relations, has resigned, with his exit also effective April 17, 2026 (USA). The company disclosed the changes in senior management personnel under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations.
