India’s LTIMindtree grooms two insiders for CEO job, sources say

LTIMindtree, India’s No.6 IT services provider by revenue, has identified two internal candidates for the top job as it is unlikely to extend CEO Debashis Chatterjee’s term that is set to end next year, according to two persons familiar with the matter.

Chief Operating Officer Nachiket Deshpande and President Sudhir Chaturvedi are the front-runners for the role as the board prefers to have an insider at the helm of the company, one of the persons said.
