Press Release
Sonata Software Appoints Hariprasad Rebala as Chief AI
Officer
Appointment strengthens Sonata’s AI leadership as the company accelerates its
transformation into an AI-native enterprise
BENGALURU, INDIA, AUGUST 17, 2026 — Sonata Software [NSE: SONATSOFTW, BSE:
532221] today announced the appointment of Hariprasad Rebala (Hari) as Chief AI Officer.
In his role, Hari will lead Sonata’s end-to-end AI-led business transformation, shaping and
executing the company’s AI strategy across offerings, service delivery, platforms,
capabilities, ecosystem, and partnerships. His focus will be on driving AI-led business
outcomes and AI-native delivery, helping enterprises translate AI adoption into enterprise
velocity and measurable business value.
Hari brings more than three decades of experience spanning IT services, enterprise
technology and the startup ecosystem. Most recently, he served as Chief of AI Solutions and
Growth at a deep-tech AI startup, and earlier co-founded Forfend, where he helped build IoT
and conversational AI platforms. He has also held senior leadership roles at (erstwhile)
Mindtree, Capgemini, and Wipro, where he scaled businesses, built industry practices and
led large transformation programs, particularly across Banking and Financial Services.
Rajsekhar Datta Roy, Chief Executive Officer, Sonata Software, said:
“Transforming Sonata Software into an AI-native organization is foundational to our growth
trajectory. Hari brings a unique combination of AI startup and IT services expertise, with
deep context of enterprise-grade AI platforms and engineering, delivering to outcome-
based models. His addition to our leadership significantly strengthens our executive team
as we rapidly transform to an AI-native organization.”
Hariprasad Rebala, Chief AI Officer, Sonata Software, said:
“AI is rapidly moving from experimentation to becoming fundamental to how enterprises
compete, operate and create value. AI alone will not define the winners — the ability to
translate AI into enterprise velocity will. Sonata brings together AI engineering and
modernization capabilities, deep industry expertise and strategic technology partnerships
to help clients make that shift at scale. My focus will be on building differentiated AI
capabilities and platforms with our customers and partners, turning AI investments into
measurable business outcomes and sustained competitive advantage.”
This appointment is part of Sonata’s broader strategy to embed AI across its engineering,
platforms, delivery model and client solutions.
