Cyient Names Prabhakar Atla as COO and Shrinivas Kulkarni as CFO to Accelerate the Next Phase of Organizational Evolution

Hyderabad, March 04, 2026: Cyient Limited, a global Intelligent Engineering solutions and services company, today announced key leadership transitions reinforcing its long-term growth strategy and operational excellence agenda within its core business. Effective April 1, 2026, Prabhakar Atla shall assume the role of Chief Operating Officer (COO), and Shrinivas Kulkarni has been appointed as Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

These appointments reflect Cyient’s continued evolution toward a performance-driven operating model and its broader growth strategy aligned with the company’s Embracing Intelligence way of working — integrating Human Knowledge, Domain Expertise, and Technology to maximise stakeholder value.

Prabhakar Atla, currently Chief Financial Officer, will transition into the role of Chief Operating Officer. A Cyient veteran with more than two decades of leadership, Prabhakar has played a pivotal role in strengthening the company’s strategic direction, and business resilience. As COO, he will be responsible for scaling next-generation delivery models, developing future ready talent, and enriching client experience through effective operating models. His focus will be on improving execution agility, driving operational scalability, and achieving excellence in customer-centric delivery.

Shrinivas Kulkarni, who most recently was the CFO of Cyient DLM, will assume the role of Chief Financial Officer of Cyient Ltd. Shrinivas has led multiple initiatives in the Cyient group over the last decade driving financial discipline, operational efficiency, improved cash conversion, and margin expansion. In his new role, he will be responsible for guiding Cyient’s global financial strategy, managing investor relations, and overseeing business finance to support competitiveness and industry-leading profitability.

Commenting on the leadership transition, Sukamal Banerjee, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer, Cyient, said, “Cyient’s next phase of growth in the core business requires leaders who combine deep institutional knowledge with a sharp execution mindset.

Prabhakar’s transition to COO is a natural evolution of his leadership journey and reflects his strong strategic and operational understanding of our business. Shrinivas’ appointment as CFO reinforces our commitment to financial rigor, performance excellence, and long-term stakeholder value creation. Together, these leaders will play a critical role in advancing Cyient in the next orbit of sustainable and profitable growth.”

Prabhakar Atla, COO-designate, added, “Twenty years at Cyient have given me a deep appreciation for what makes this organisation truly distinctive; our domain expertise, our client relationships, and the values that have guided us through every phase of our growth. Transitioning from CFO to COO is an exciting new chapter, and an opportunity to build on this strong foundation in a broader capacity. I look forward to working closely with our talented teams across the world to elevate our client experience and create meaningful value for all our stakeholders.”
