In a move to deepening its commitment to digital innovation, HFCL Limited has elevated Sunil Pandey to the role of Chief AI & Digital Officer. This appointment marks a pivotal moment in HFCL’s transformation journey—where digital is no longer a support function, but the core catalyst for growth, agility, and industry leadership.
Since joining HFCL in 2021 as Chief Information Officer, Sunil has led a sweeping overhaul of the company's digital infrastructure. From spearheading the SAP RISE transformation, modernizing cloud operations, and driving ISO 27001 & 27701 compliance, to orchestrating seamless enterprise integrations, his contributions have laid the foundation for a resilient, future-ready organization. His close engagement with the Chairman’s office and leadership of a high-performance team of over 50 professionals has positioned him as an indispensable architect of HFCL’s digital DNA.
Sharing his excitement about the new role, Sunil wrote on LinkedIn, “I am honored to step into the role of Chief AI and Digital Officer (CAIDO) at HFCL Limited. This transition aligns with HFCL’s commitment to leveraging AI for transformation and innovation.”
With this new role, Sunil’s mandate expands significantly—placing him at the helm of HFCL’s foray into Responsible AI, Industry 4.0 frameworks, Digital Twin ecosystems, and enterprise-grade automation. This evolution is not just about technology adoption—it is about redefining how a legacy telecom and infrastructure player becomes a digital-first, innovation-led powerhouse.
Sunil brings to this mission a rare blend of entrepreneurial vision and institutional experience. Prior to HFCL, he held technology leadership positions at Sterlite Power Technologies, JWIL Infra, and Adani Green Energy, and also founded AgileApt Solutions, where he pioneered next-gen SaaS platforms. His academic credentials—from MIT xPRO, IIM Ahmedabad, and IIM Bangalore—reflect his continuous pursuit of innovation at the intersection of strategy and technology.
