Pahuja inherits a strong AI foundation: an acceleration lab, agentic architecture, and purpose-built platforms already running in live client environments. His focus is on scaling what works, and on the outcomes clients can measure, from margin expansion to growth without a proportional increase in headcount. It rests on a simple division of labor: AI does the heavy lifting, and QX’s professionals own the judgment and the result.
Abid Neemuchwala, Chairman of QX Global Group and former CEO of Wipro, said: “Vijay brings exactly the combination QX needs to take QX into its next chapter: commercial depth, operational discipline, and a clear-eyed view of how AI will reshape knowledge services.”
Angad Singh, Partner at Long Ridge Equity Partners, said: “QX has a strong foundation – outstanding delivery culture, long-standing client relationships, and a talented delivery team. Vijay’s appointment signals our intent to accelerate the expansion of the platform by investing in technologies that make the services better, and scaling into categories where QX has the right to lead.”
Vijay Pahuja said: “QX has built a genuine leadership position serving the mid-market – the businesses that power the global economy – through long-standing client relationships and a team with real expertise across finance, accounting, recruitment and complex knowledge services. My focus is to take that foundation further: go deeper into the sectors we know, put AI-led transformation into the hands of our people, and deliver outcomes our clients can measure in their growth, their margins, and their capacity to compete.”
