About Irshad Saifi

I am a global Chief Digital & Information Officer (CDIO) and transformation leader with 24+ years of experience, delivering ₹200+ Cr /$25M+ in measurable business impact across professional services, pharma, banking, healthcare, and manufacturing.From leading APAC’s fastest GenAI implementation at enterprise scale to driving large-scale digital transformation at Havells and Sun Pharma, I have consistently delivered outcomes in months that typically take years. My work sits at the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, cloud, governance, and high-stakes operations, where execution quality matters as much as strategy.I have been trusted by Chairs, CEOs, and CIOs across Citibank, Sun Pharma, Agilent, Genpact, and India’s leading professional services firm to lead during moments of inflection, post-merger integration, global scale-ups, crisis response, and technology-led reinvention.I build secure, reliable, and future-ready enterprises by converting complexity into clarity, aligning technology execution with boardroom priorities, and enabling global teams to sustain transformation, not just implement it.
