In a move signaling its deep commitment to AI-first growth, Movate has appointed Arvind J (AJ) as its new Global Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO). The digital technology and customer experience (CX) services leader is tasking AJ with reshaping its global people strategy—fusing human insight with artificial intelligence to create a future-ready, adaptive workforce.
Building an AI-First People Strategy
Movate’s decision underscores a growing HR tech trend: human resources functions aren’t just administrative anymore—they’re strategic engines driving transformation. AJ’s mandate is to lead Movate’s global people and culture agenda, amplifying leadership capability and embedding AI-driven employee engagement across markets.
Armed with over two decades of experience, AJ has held senior HR leadership roles across global tech and services organizations, from Cisco Systems and Wipro Technologies to Mastek, where he most recently served as Global CHRO. His career spans India, APAC, the Middle East, and the Americas, marked by large-scale transformations, digital workforce transitions, and a sharp focus on inclusion and leadership development.
At Mastek, AJ was credited with aligning people strategy tightly with business growth—a capability Movate will likely lean on as it accelerates its AI-led expansion.
Leadership Voices: Human at the Core, AI in the DNA
“His deep understanding of global people dynamics and transformation aligns perfectly with our AI-first vision,” said Sunil Mittal, CEO of Movate. “AJ’s leadership will be instrumental in fostering AI-driven innovation in HR and ensuring we continue to attract, develop, and retain world-class talent globally.”
For AJ, the mission is as much human as it is technological.
“The HR landscape is evolving rapidly, with AI transforming how we connect, engage, and grow,” he said. “At Movate, this is an opportunity to build smarter, more human-centered experiences for our people.”
The Bigger Picture: AI-Powered HR at Scale
Movate’s move comes amid a surge in AI adoption across HR functions—from predictive analytics for workforce planning to generative AI in recruitment and learning. Companies are betting that AI won’t just automate processes but enhance empathy and personalization at scale.
By appointing a CHRO steeped in both transformation and technology, Movate joins a growing list of CX and tech firms aiming to make AI an ally in building culture, not just efficiency. With AJ steering its people strategy, Movate’s workforce evolution appears set to balance intelligence with intuition—a rare but increasingly necessary equilibrium in the age of AI-powered HR.
