Sonata Software has appointed Mr. Balaji Kumar as its Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) with effect from March 14, 2026. He will lead the People and Talent function globally and will be based at the company's corporate office in Bengaluru. Mr. Balaji Kumar is rejoining Sonata from One97 Communications (Paytm), where he served as CHRO. He brings extensive experience from senior HR roles at L&T Infotech, Larsen & Toubro, Microsoft, Murugappa Group, Citibank, Coca-Cola, and Unilever, and holds a management degree from TISS along with a master's in law.
This is a routine senior management appointment and is unlikely to have a material impact on the stock price. The hiring of a seasoned HR leader from a high-profile company like Paytm signals a focus on strengthening talent strategy and organizational development, which is broadly positive for operational execution.
