TASC Group Appoints New CEO to Lead AI-Driven Growth in MENA
TASC Group, a major workforce solutions, people advisory, corporate compliance and AI-led business solutions provider in the MENA region, has appointed Jayajyoti Sengupta as its new Chief Executive Officer, as founder Mahesh Shahdadpuri transitions to the role of Executive Chairman to guide long-term growth and international expansion.
The company said the leadership change marks a strategic milestone in its growth journey and strengthens its focus on delivering AI-first, outcome-based solutions across the Middle East and emerging markets. TASC Group operates through brands including TASC, TCS, AIQU, and Future Miles.
Leadership Transition to Support AI-Focused Expansion
The appointment comes as artificial intelligence continues to reshape the outsourcing and managed services landscape. Enterprises are increasingly shifting from traditional cost-driven outsourcing models to AI-enabled, outcome-led partnerships designed to improve efficiency, resilience, and measurable performance.
TASC Group said organisations across sectors — including government, BFSI, aviation, defence, manufacturing, healthcare, and technology — are accelerating AI adoption as part of broader digital transformation strategies, driving higher demand for scalable managed services.
Under the new leadership structure, Shahdadpuri will focus on governance, strategic direction, and global expansion initiatives, while Sengupta will lead day-to-day operations and growth execution.
Stronger Managed Services and Regional Footprint
The group plans to expand its role as a Managed Services Provider (MSP) across both TASC and AIQU to meet rising regional demand for flexible, AI-enabled service delivery models. The move is aimed at strengthening operational excellence, scaling delivery capabilities, and deepening enterprise partnerships.
Sengupta brings international experience working with senior leadership teams across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, with a focus on transforming managed services into value-driven, resilience-focused strategic partnerships.
Executive Commentary
Mahesh Shahdadpuri, Executive Chairman of TASC Group, said the appointment comes at a pivotal stage in the company’s evolution and aligns with its long-term AI strategy.
He noted that Sengupta’s experience in AI-enabled and outcome-led partnerships supports the group’s vision to accelerate AI adoption and deliver intelligent, scalable managed services to clients.
Jayajyoti Sengupta, CEO of TASC Group, said the company has built a strong regional reputation and is well positioned to help enterprises redesign operating models through AI and automation, adding that his focus will be on strengthening capabilities and client partnerships during the next phase of transformation.
