Appointment of Vijay Pahuja as Group Chief Executive Officer
On 21 July 2026, QX Global Group announced through a Business Wire India press release that Vijay Pahuja has been appointed Group Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. The appointment follows the tenure of Pom Chakravarti, who has led QX as CEO since 2024; Chakravarti will remain on the QX Global Board and serve as a Senior Executive focused on strategic client relationships.
Vijay Pahuja joins QX with more than 25 years of experience building and scaling service‑led businesses at the intersection of deep domain expertise and AI‑driven transformation. Prior to this role, he was with Sutherland Global Services, where he led a portfolio of business verticals across financial services and insurance and elevated the insurance vertical to a market‑leading position by pioneering agentic AI delivery at scale. Earlier senior leadership roles include positions at WNS, Cognizant and IBM, where he drove multi‑fold global revenue growth and established global delivery capabilities spanning financial services, insurance and enterprise services.
QX Global Group is a sector‑led, technology‑enabled knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) firm backed by Long Ridge Equity Partners. Founded in 2003, the company employs over 3,000 professionals across India, the United Kingdom and the Americas. It delivers AI‑powered finance, accounting, recruitment and industry‑specific knowledge transformation services to mid‑market businesses in the United States, United Kingdom and Europe. QX holds category leadership in accounting, real‑estate and staffing, and is expanding rapidly in insurance broking, hospitality, consumer packaged goods & retail, and manufacturing. Its management‑consulting and advisory arm, Chazey Partners, adds end‑to‑end business transformation, shared services and intelligent automation expertise.
The firm already possesses a strong AI foundation, including an acceleration lab, agentic architecture and purpose‑built platforms operating in live client environments. Pahuja’s focus will be on scaling proven offerings, driving margin expansion and growth without a proportional increase in headcount, leveraging a model where AI performs heavy lifting while QX professionals retain judgment and accountability.
Abid Neemuchwala, Chairman of QX Global Group and former CEO of Wipro, stated that Vijay brings the exact combination needed to take QX into its next chapter, citing commercial depth, operational discipline and a clear‑eyed view of AI’s impact on knowledge services. Angad Singh, Partner at Long Ridge Equity Partners, emphasized that the appointment signals the firm’s intent to accelerate platform expansion by investing in technologies that enhance service quality and scaling into categories where QX has a leadership position.
Vijay Pahuja added that QX has built a genuine leadership position serving the mid‑market—the businesses that power the global economy—through long‑standing client relationships and deep expertise across finance, accounting, recruitment and complex knowledge services. He said his priority is to deepen sector focus, embed AI‑led transformation in the hands of QX’s people, and deliver measurable outcomes in client growth, margins and competitive capacity.
Long Ridge Equity Partners, founded in 2007, is a private investment firm focused on financial and business‑technology sectors. The firm manages over $1.7 billion of committed capital and positions itself as a value‑added partner to high‑growth businesses, providing strategic resources and capital to drive profitable expansion.
