TASC Group Appoints Jayajyoti Sengupta as CEO; Founder Mahesh Shahdadpuri Becomes Executive Chairman

TASC Group (TASC, TCS, AIQU and Future Miles), the largest Workforce, People Advisory, Corporate Compliance, and AI-led Business Solutions company in MENA, has named Jayajyoti Sengupta as Chief Executive Officer. Founder and current CEO Mahesh Shahdadpuri will step into the role of Executive Chairman to guide long-term growth and international expansion.

This move signals a clear shift: scale the business, deepen managed services, and deliver AI-first, outcome-based solutions across the Middle East and newer markets. It comes as enterprises move away from cost-only outsourcing and push for measurable results, automation, and resilience.

Why this matters for executives

Boards and CEOs are asking service partners for faster impact and accountable delivery. TASC's transition answers that demand with a model centered on outcomes, automation at scale, and governance that stands up to scrutiny.

Across Government, BFSI, Aviation, Defense, Manufacturing-Industrial, Healthcare, Technology, and large services companies, AI programs are moving from pilots to production. That shift increases the need for intelligent, scalable managed services and talent depth across the region.

  • AI-first delivery: Solutions framed around business outcomes, not just headcount or hours.
  • Expanded MSP footprint: TASC and AIQU will scale as Managed Services Providers to meet demand for flexible, AI-enabled operations.
  • Operational excellence: Stronger governance, consistent service quality, and regional reach.
  • International expansion: A structure built to support growth beyond the Middle East.

What clients can expect next

  • Contracts that tie value to outcomes and KPIs, not only inputs.
  • Automation and AI embedded in service delivery-from onboarding and compliance to analytics and decision support.
  • Stronger controls for regulatory compliance and data protection across multiple jurisdictions.
  • Access to specialized skills across TASC, TCS, AIQU, and Future Miles to modernize operating models.

Leadership perspective

Commenting on the appointment, Mahesh Shahdadpuri, Executive Chairman of TASC Group, noted that bringing Jayajyoti in as CEO strengthens the company's ability to deliver AI-enabled, outcome-led partnerships. "We will continue to speed up AI adoption for clients and meet growing demand with intelligent, scalable managed services."

Jayajyoti Sengupta added, "TASC Group has earned a strong position in the region. As enterprises rethink operating models, we have a clear opening to reimagine managed services through AI and automation-deepening client partnerships and supporting the next phase of operational change."

Strategy takeaways for CXOs

  • Define the 3-5 business outcomes that matter most (cost-to-serve, time-to-value, risk reduction, NPS, uptime) and lock them into SLAs.
  • Decide your automation stack early: what to build in-house, what to buy, and what to source through MSPs.
  • Set up clear AI governance: data quality standards, audit trails, model monitoring, and compliance mapping.
  • Pilot with a narrow scope, measure impact in weeks, then scale through a managed model to de-risk change.
  • Invest in the skills layer-product owners, data stewards, and change leads-to sustain outcomes post-implementation.
