Workday lands marketing heavyweight to turbocharge India expansion
MUMBAI: Workday has secured a major coup, naming Chaitra Shetty as its new head of marketing for India as the enterprise cloud powerhouse accelerates its ambitions in one of the world’s most dynamic technology markets.
Shetty arrives with stellar credentials, having spent nearly two decades building campaigns for enterprise technology’s elite. Her most notable achievement was a seven-year tenure at Autodesk, where she rose from field marketing manager to account-based marketing manager covering India and SAARC, including leading the flagship Autodesk University events that drew over 2,000 attendees and generated 16 million social impressions.
She joins from Automation Anywhere, where she spent 16 months as head of marketing for India, and previously commanded C-suite engagement strategies at ServiceNow, rising to director level whilst orchestrating campaigns targeting India’s top executives.
The California-based giant, which powers finance and human resources operations for more than 10,000 organisations worldwide—including over half the Fortune 500—is positioning Shetty’s appointment as a strategic investment in India’s booming digital economy. Her expertise in account-based marketing and executive engagement aligns perfectly with Workday’s growth strategy in the region.
Workday’s applications, built with artificial intelligence and machine learning at their core, are capturing enterprises navigating the future of work. With Shetty’s proven track record in driving measurable impact across the marketing funnel, the company is well-positioned to deepen its market leadership.
Her diverse background—spanning digital marketing at Mirum India and editorial leadership at AnimationXpress, where she authored over 1,000 stories—brings a rare 360-degree perspective to the role.
With India’s enterprise software market surging and organisations racing to modernise, Shetty’s arrival signals Workday’s determination to own the narrative. The pieces are falling into place for India’s new work day.

TCS proposes Rs 31 dividend as Q4 results reflect steady profit growth
Tech giant recommends final payout following a year of steady growth and expansion
MUMBAI: Tata Consultancy Services Limited has signalled its confidence in the digital future by recommending a final dividend of Rs 31 per share. The payout, which remains subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming annual general meeting, caps off a year of significant activity for the global IT services leader.
The company reported a consolidated revenue from operations of Rs 267,021 crore for the year ended 31 March 2026, representing a steady increase from the Rs 255,324 crore recorded in the previous financial year. Net profit for the period also saw an uptick, reaching Rs 49,454 crore compared to Rs 48,797 crore twelve months prior.
Growth was visible across several key sectors, with banking, financial services, and insurance remaining the company’s largest revenue generator, contributing Rs 103,363 crore to the annual total. Despite the positive trajectory, the firm navigated some financial headwinds, including a one-off provision of Rs 1,010 crore related to a legal claim and Rs 1,388 crore in restructuring expenses.
The year was also defined by a flurry of international expansion. The group successfully integrated several new entities, including the acquisition of Coastal Cloud Holdings, LLC in January 2026 and the incorporation of new subsidiaries in Morocco and Saudi Arabia.
With its global footprint expanding and a healthy dividend on the horizon, the firm appears well-positioned to maintain its momentum in the competitive tech landscape.
