Background

About Yogesh Pendharkar

We don't want to push our ideas onto customers; we simply want to make what they want." — Laura Ashley With 23 years in IT delivery and operations across healthcare, BFSI, manufacturing, and technology services, my journey began in hands-on infrastructure and support, progressed into leading data centre migrations and global delivery programs, and today sees me shaping enterprise-scale engagements in DevOps, AI, and service management. At LTIMindtree, I secured a $10.5M, 3-year contract, optimized EBIT accuracy through rigorous cost planning, and improved operational margins by 35% by aligning SLA and process frameworks. Earlier at Wipro, I grew the healthcare business by $2.3M, cut team conflicts by 90%, and ensured $1.5M quarterly revenue through disciplined service transitions. At Cognizant, I generated $1.7M in new offshore business, delivered $600K in direct client savings, and steered an $8.5M merger integration involving 800+ employees across India and the US. I build frameworks that reduce incidents, improve customer trust, and create lasting partnerships. Looking ahead, I believe the leaders who thrive will be those who bridge IT service excellence with AI/ML-enabled decision-making. That is the future of as operation as intelligent, adaptive, and outcome oriented, transitioning from reactive to proactive data driver system - and I help organizations get there. yog.pendharkar@gmail.com
