Dexian Taps IT Veteran Vikram Motiani to Drive APAC Expansion

Dexian, a global player in talent and technology solutions, is doubling down on its Asia-Pacific ambitions with the appointment of Vikram Motiani as Managing Director for the region. The move signals a strategic push to turn APAC into a major engine of growth, innovation, and delivery excellence within Dexian’s global framework.

The hire isn’t a symbolic one—it’s tactical. With more than 35 years in IT services, Motiani brings the kind of hard-won experience required to scale operations, lead enterprise transformations, and build out complex regional ecosystems. His track record spans high-growth markets, making him a timely fit for a region that’s demanding more agile, tech-driven, and outcome-based solutions than ever before.

Joining him on the frontlines of this transformation is Zayadi “Eddie” Islami, who steps in as Country Sales Director for Malaysia, one of Dexian’s key growth markets in Southeast Asia.

Not Just Staffing—Strategic Solutions

Dexian isn’t content to be seen as just another staffing firm in APAC. This next phase focuses on evolving from traditional recruitment to offering end-to-end service delivery—from digital transformation and enterprise support to strategic consulting.

“We are doubling down on investments in the region to deliver outcome-based solutions,” said Ash Srivastava, VP and Global Head of Dexian International. “This leadership evolution is a commitment to long-term growth, innovation, and deeper impact.”

With the region becoming a magnet for global outsourcing, digital initiatives, and cloud-first transformations, companies are looking for vendors who can do more than fill seats. They want partners who can deliver scalable results, tailor to local needs, and still operate at global velocity.

Why APAC, Why Now?

The Asia-Pacific region is one of the world’s most dynamic growth engines. Demand for skilled IT and digital talent is exploding, particularly in markets like India, Malaysia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Dexian’s investment playbook includes:

  • Expanded delivery centers and local hiring

  • Strategic partnerships to enhance market footprint

  • Integrated offerings that merge talent, tech, and transformation services

  • A stronger focus on people-first, outcomes-driven delivery

Motiani, who’s previously led enterprise-scale operations in similar high-velocity environments, sees this as more than just a business opportunity—it’s a chance to redefine how global talent solutions are delivered at scale in the region.

“Dexian is uniquely positioned to lead within APAC through its global scale and deep commitment to people-first solutions,” he said.

The Bigger Picture

Dexian’s move comes as global firms recalibrate their APAC strategies, not just for cost arbitrage but for innovation, resilience, and delivery excellence. As hybrid work, AI, and agile development models reshape workforce demands, the pressure is on for service providers to go beyond sourcing and into solving.

With the right leadership now in place, Dexian is looking to do exactly that—and turn APAC into a strategic cornerstone of its global operations.
