MUMBAI: When a growth rocket needs fuel, you call in a heavy hitter. And that’s exactly what Upgrad Enterprise has done by appointing Sunita Mohanty as its new revenue head. Effective March 2025, the skilling juggernaut has onboarded the industry veteran to supercharge strategy, scale partnerships, and rake in revenues from India to the middle east—and a few time zones beyond.
Announced on 2 April 2025, this strategic hire marks a bold step as Upgrad doubles down on its mission to build a future-ready workforce through enterprise learning. Mohanty isn’t just bringing her suitcase to the Bengaluru HQ—she’s bringing a two-decade track record of turning chaos into quarter-on-quarter miracles.
Armed with 25+ years of firepower across Wipro, Oracle, Capgemini, Sodexo, and most recently, SAP (where she led cloud success services for the Indian subcontinent), Mohanty has seen it all. Sales, delivery, customer success, P&L management—she’s the kind of leader who’ll not just move the needle but replace it with a laser pointer.
“It’s an exciting growth phase for us - we are doubling down on our business and leadership, to ensure continued growth. Sunita brings core capabilities in building and scaling high-impact enterprise solutions while also driving stronger customer engagement. Her strategic acumen will help us unlock new market opportunities and scale into newer regions to support global organisations build a future-ready talent pipeline for effective business ROI,” said Upgrad Enterprise CEO Srikanth Iyengar.
Mohanty’s playbook will focus on expanding global enterprise partnerships, especially with India HQ organisations, GCCs and multinational players. Her sharp focus? GenAI, emerging tech, and the skilling solutions that make CFOs smile.
“The rapid shifts in macroeconomic conditions and disruptive technological advancements are compelling businesses to rethink their workforce strategies. Organisations are no longer just adapting but actively future-proofing their talent to stay ahead in an ever-evolving landscape. For Upgrad Enterprise, this is an exciting opportunity to be a strategic partner in shaping the workforce of tomorrow. By bridging critical skill gaps and equipping employees with future-ready capabilities, we are driving not just learning, but transformation. I’m thrilled to be part of this next phase of growth and impact at Upgrad,” said Mohanty.
An alumna of Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar, Mohanty will be based in Bengaluru. With a career crafted at the crossroads of tech and transformation, her arrival signals Upgrad’s serious push into global C-suite conversations.
