Sutherland Appoints Karthikeyan Ravindren as SVP and Managing Client Partner

Sutherland has appointed Karthikeyan Ravindren as Senior Vice President and Managing Client Partner, adding an experienced technology services and client leadership professional to its senior team.

Ravindren brings a career spanning client relationship management, account leadership, business development and global operations. His new mandate at Sutherland will build on his experience managing strategic accounts and driving growth across technology-led businesses.

Return to Sutherland in a senior leadership role

Ravindren’s appointment represents a return to Sutherland, where he began his professional career as a Supervisor at Sutherland Technologies.

Since then, he has built extensive experience across technology services and business operations, eventually taking on senior client and growth leadership responsibilities.

His latest move brings his career journey back to Sutherland in a significantly expanded leadership capacity.

More than 16 years with Wipro

Before joining Sutherland, Ravindren spent over 16 years with Wipro Digital Operations and Platforms.

During his tenure, he progressed through several leadership positions, including:

• Head of Growth and Account Management – Tech, Software & Gaming, Communications, Media and Network
• Head of Growth and Account Management – Technology
• Associate Vice President – Account Management
• Account Delivery Head

His responsibilities across these roles covered strategic account management, client relationships, business growth and delivery operations.

Working across multiple technology and communications sectors also gave him exposure to diverse client environments and complex global operations.

Career built across technology services

Ravindren’s experience extends beyond Wipro.

Earlier, he worked with Infosys BPO as COH – Tech Support Process, where he gained experience in technology support operations.

He subsequently joined Dell Technologies International Services as an Operation Manager, adding experience in large-scale customer and technology operations.

These assignments helped build the operational and client-facing foundation that later shaped his career in account management and business growth.

Focus on clients and business expansion

Ravindren’s professional background brings together two critical areas for technology services businesses: client relationships and commercial growth.

His experience spans:

• Strategic client partnerships
• Account management
• Business development and growth
• Technology services
• Global operations
• Customer support
• Service delivery

At Sutherland, this combination is expected to support deeper engagement with strategic clients while contributing to business expansion across technology-led service areas.

A career that comes full circle

Ravindren’s move is notable for bringing him back to the organisation where his professional journey began.

From his early operational role at Sutherland to senior leadership positions at Wipro, he has built experience across delivery, account management, growth and client partnerships.

His appointment as SVP and Managing Client Partner marks the latest stage of that progression and adds a seasoned industry professional to Sutherland’s leadership team.

With technology services increasingly centred around long-term client partnerships, digital transformation and business outcomes, Ravindren’s experience across these areas positions him to play a key role in Sutherland’s growth and client strategy.
