Ramesh J. Chougule

For more than twenty years, Ramesh J. Chougule has worked where enterprise technology meets the business it is meant to serve, making systems pay off, not just go live.

A Vice President and senior technology and transformation leader at Infosys Limited, he works at the intersection of enterprise systems, business strategy and large-scale organizational change.

His work has taken him across pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, consumer goods and financial services, and across continents. He has led ERP implementations and post-go-live transformation programs, and held the honest conversations that begin when a system has cost hundreds of millions and the balance sheet does not sense the return.

From 2020 to 2023 he served on the Board of Advisors – Center for Innovation and Digital Transformation at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) College of Business, advising on emerging technology trends, digital business models, and keeping the curriculum aligned with the fast-evolving enterprise AI and digital landscape.

The Purpose Debt is what those years taught him: why technology investments stall after go-live, and how leaders can settle the debt before their next AI investment.

Ramesh is available for virtual author sessions, media interviews, and podcast appearances.
