Board of Directors

Ms. Avantika Krishna is a seasoned business leader with over 15 years of experience helping enterprises solve complex business and technology challenges through digital transformation, managed services, strategic partnerships, and global delivery models. Her career spans IT services, human capital management, business unit leadership, and global sales strategy, enabling her to bridge customer needs with scalable business solutions.

She holds an MBA in Marketing and Management from Fordham Gabelli School of Business, New York, an MSc in Human Resource Management and Organisational Analysis from King’s College London, and a B.Sc. in Economics from Stella Maris College, providing her with a strong multidisciplinary foundation across business, organisational behaviour, and strategic management.

Ms. Krishna began her professional career through human resources roles with Acuma Solutions Ltd., Manchester, UK, Saksoft Limited, India, and Totus Consulting, where she gained extensive experience in talent acquisition, leadership development, organisational effectiveness, and workforce transformation initiatives. These early roles provided her with a deep understanding of the people and organisational dimensions that underpin business performance and growth.

She joined Saksoft Limited in February 2011 as a Human Resource Executive and subsequently took on broader responsibilities supporting the Company’s operations in both India and the United States. In this role, she partnered with business leaders to build the talent and organisational capabilities required to support rapid growth and customer commitments. Her experience during this period provided her with a strong understanding of the operational, people, and governance challenges faced by a scaling global technology services organisation, laying the foundation for her subsequent leadership roles in customer engagement, business development, and enterprise growth.

Recognising her ability to build trusted client relationships and align business solutions to customer objectives, Ms. Krishna transitioned into a client-facing leadership role as Key Account Director for the United Kingdom in June 2014. Over the next seven years, she worked closely with enterprise customers across multiple industries, helping them address business challenges through technology-led transformation initiatives, operational efficiencies, and long-term strategic partnerships. She was responsible for growing key accounts, expanding service adoption, and strengthening executive-level customer relationships across international markets.

In October 2021, Ms. Krishna was appointed Chief Sales Officer of Saksoft Limited, a role she continues to hold, where she assumed responsibility for the Company’s global sales strategy, revenue growth, market expansion, customer success, and strategic alliances. In this role, she has been instrumental in driving growth across existing and new markets, developing enterprise sales capabilities, and strengthening the Company’s positioning with global customers and technology partners.

In addition to her sales leadership responsibilities, Ms. Krishna also led Saksoft’s Emerging Verticals Business Unit, with end-to-end responsibility for business growth, customer relationships, delivery oversight, profitability, and talent development. Under her leadership, the business unit focused on helping customers solve industry-specific business challenges through engineering-led solutions, while driving operational excellence and sustainable growth.

Given her extensive leadership experience, deep understanding of the Company’s business, and proven track record in driving growth and customer success, Ms. Krishna was appointed as a Whole-time Director of Saksoft Limited in May 2026. In this capacity, she provides strategic oversight across the organisation, contributing to business growth, governance, risk management, and long-term value creation. She also serves as a member of the Company’s Risk Management Committee.
