Lohia Corp Limited has strengthened its digital and technology leadership with the elevation of Jagdip Kumar from Chief Information Officer (CIO) to Chief Digital & Information Officer (CDIO). The expanded mandate reflects the company’s growing focus on digital transformation, artificial intelligence, data-driven innovation and technology-led business growth.
In his new role, Kumar will lead a broader digital and technology agenda, extending beyond traditional IT operations to encompass enterprise-wide digital strategy, AI and GenAI adoption, data-led decision-making, digital experiences and technology-enabled business transformation.
Commenting on the transition, Jagdip Kumar said in a LinkedIn post, “I’m happy to share — transitioning from Chief Information Officer (CIO) to Chief Digital & Information Officer (CDIO) at Lohia Corp Limited This is more than a change in title. It represents an evolution in the role of technology — from enabling business operations to shaping business strategy, innovation, customer experience, and new ways of creating value.”
From Technology Enablement to Digital Business Leadership
Kumar’s transition to the CDIO role represents an expansion of his responsibilities from managing technology infrastructure and IT enablement to driving a more integrated digital transformation strategy.
Under his expanded mandate, digital and technology initiatives will be aligned more closely with business priorities, with a focus on building scalable platforms, strengthening digital capabilities and identifying opportunities where technology can create measurable business impact.
The evolution also reflects the changing role of enterprise technology leaders, who are increasingly expected to contribute directly to business strategy, innovation and growth rather than focusing solely on IT operations.
Advancing AI and Data-Led Innovation
Artificial intelligence, including Generative AI, will be an important component of the company’s digital transformation journey under Kumar’s expanded leadership.
The focus will be on identifying practical applications of AI and data across business functions to improve decision-making, enhance productivity, streamline processes and enable more intelligent operations.
As organisations move from AI experimentation to enterprise-wide adoption, Lohia Corp’s broader technology mandate is aimed at connecting emerging technologies with clear business objectives and sustainable outcomes.
Building a Future-Ready Technology Organisation
The transition from CIO to CDIO brings technology, digital strategy, AI, data and business transformation under a broader leadership framework.
Kumar’s expanded role will focus on strengthening the connection between technology investments and business outcomes while fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration and continuous transformation.
With Kumar taking on the CDIO mandate, Lohia Corp is set to further integrate digital, AI, data and technology into its broader business transformation agenda, creating a stronger foundation for innovation and sustainable growth.
