AI-driven analytics, data engineering and consulting firm LatentView Analytics has named Sonal Ramrakhiani as its new Chief Executive Officer. The appointment came into effect on Wednesday July 15, 2026.
Ramrakhiani takes over the position from outgoing chief executive Rajan Sethuraman, who has led the Chennai-listed business since 2019. To ensure a smooth management transition, Sethuraman will remain with the firm for up to six months as a Strategic Advisor to the CEO, working alongside the board and the incoming leader.
The new chief executive brings over 20 years of global technology sector experience to the role. Most recently, she managed the Wipro Engineering Edge business unit across the Americas region. Ramrakhiani is an alumnus of the Tata Administrative Services programme and has held multiple top leadership roles within the Tata Group. Her career includes time at Tata Consultancy Services and a stint as Chief Operating Officer and President of Sales (Automotive) at Tata Technologies. Based in the United States, she will look to grow the company’s footprint across Europe and the Americas while executing its AI-led business transformation strategy.
Sethuraman leaves a legacy of expansion, having spent more than a decade at the firm. During his seven-year tenure as chief executive, he guided LatentView through its initial public offering (IPO) and oversaw the corporate acquisition of Decision Point.
Venkat Viswanathan, Founder and Chairperson, LatentView, said, “The Board is happy to welcome Sonal Ramrakhiani as our new CEO. Sonal’s global expertise, deep customer focus, and proven track record of scaling high-performing businesses make her uniquely qualified to drive LatentView’s next chapter of growth in AI and analytics. We also extend our profound thanks to Rajan Sethuraman for his exceptional stewardship, notably guiding us through our successful IPO and the acquisition of Decision Point. He leaves behind a remarkable legacy and a rock-solid foundation for the future. We are deeply grateful for his contributions and wish him the absolute best in his next chapter. As Sonal takes the helm, the Board looks forward to partnering closely with her to deliver long-term value for our clients, employees, and shareholders.”
On her appointment, Sonal said, “I am honoured to join LatentView at such an exciting juncture. Over the years, the company has built a strong reputation for delivering meaningful business outcomes through data, analytics and AI, underpinned by deep client relationships and exceptional talent. I look forward to building on this foundation, accelerating our growth across global markets, strengthening our innovation capabilities, and creating long-term value for our clients, employees and shareholders. I am grateful to the Board for its confidence and to Rajan for the outstanding organization he has built. I look forward to working closely with him to ensure a seamless transition and position LatentView for its next phase of growth.”
Speaking on the transition, Rajan said, “It has been a real privilege to lead LatentView over the last seven years as the CEO. LatentView is built on a strong foundation – exceptional talent, deep domain expertise, a culture of innovation, and above all, the trust of our clients. I am delighted to welcome Sonal, whose experience and vision make her well-suited to lead LatentView through its next phase of growth. I remain committed to ensuring a smooth transition and will be available to support her and the team over the coming months.”
