About Sanjeev Vohra
Sanjeev Vohra, Chief Technology & Innovation Officer at Genpact, has been speaking publicly about the company's work with agentic AI and the broader adoption of artificial intelligence in enterprise operations. In August 2025, he described agentic AI as "new to the party" and said Genpact has been making progress over the previous 12 months in developing AI agents that can act like humans, taking time-bound, goal-oriented actions independently with minimal human intervention. He stated that Genpact has more than 800 clients for whom it does data and AI work, and that the company has achieved more than 10% productivity gains across functions including finance, accounting, HR, IT, legal, marketing, and sales by adopting AI internally. Vohra also mentioned that 90,000 of Genpact's 130,000 employees have undergone role-based AI training, and that the company's CEO uses AI and shares stories about its value. Vohra emphasized that AI should be treated as a business initiative rather than a technology initiative, asserting that it has a direct correlation to topline growth and bottom line impact. He noted that AI is heterogeneous in nature and can be embedded anywhere in the technology stack, requiring strong collaboration between CIOs, CTOs, and business leaders. He pointed to a trend where CIOs and business operations are reporting to a single individual at the top level to enable faster AI adoption. Vohra also stated that in the first half of 2025, more than 60% of venture capital funding went into AI, and that 5% of enterprises are in the "leading quadrant" of having an enterprise-wide AI roadmap. He advised that top management and boards need a deep understanding of the technology to create a roadmap covering value generation, operational changes, talent upskilling, and governance, and urged companies to "act fast and learn fast" rather than spend time planning.
