Healthtech firm CitiusTech appoints Rajan Kohli as CEO
Prior to this, Kohli spent nearly three decades at Wipro, most recently as President of the iDEAS (Integrated Digital, Engineering and Application Services) business.
His appointment comes at a time when the slowdown in the US market is starting to impact some parts of the healthcare services industry.
“He (Rajan) is a proven leader with a breadth of business experience and a strong track record of driving transformation and scaling successful businesses. He brings tremendous leadership capabilities and expertise in digital, engineering and application services with an innovation-led approach to drive the next phase of growth for us,” said William Winkenwerder, Chairman, CitiusTech.
Last year, Bain Capital acquired a stake in the healthtech firm from Baring Private Equity Asia.
“The healthcare industry is at a very interesting place. It will undergo a digital revolution very much like some of the other industries have in the last eight to ten years,” Kohli told ET. “We are at a size and scale where within the healthcare industry, this is now a meaningful company and I feel I can contribute and create impact.”
