IBM appoints Sandip Patel as MD of its India and South Asia operations

IBM on Wednesday said it has appointed Sandip Patel as managing director of its India and South Asia (ISA) operations.

He succeeds Karan Bajwa, who is quitting the company to pursue opportunities outside of IBM, the company said in a statement.

In his role, Patel will be responsible for all strategic and operational matters related to IBM’s sales, marketing, services and delivery operations in the region, including Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka.

“Additionally, he will play a critical role in enabling India’s capabilities across IBM’s global missions, global centres of excellence, research and innovation labs,” the company said.

Most recently, Patel was based in Boston, Massachusetts, where he was IBM’s global general manager for the Insurance industry and was responsible for the company’s business across all brands in this market segment.
