Newgen Software has appointed Kashish Daya Kapoor as Global Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO).
In her new role, Kapoor will oversee human resources across geographies at Newgen Software, leading the company’s global people strategy with a focus on talent development, organisational agility, and building a future-ready workforce. Her role will centre on driving workforce capability, leadership development, and organisational effectiveness as Newgen advances its global growth and navigates a more digital and competitive environment.
Kapoor brings close to 30 years of experience in human resources, with expertise spanning organisational transformation, culture building, and large-scale workforce initiatives. She joins Newgen from NEC Corporation India, where she led the HR function and played a key role in shaping people strategy and improving organisational effectiveness, having been a part of the company for over 9 years.
“After nine years at NECCorporationIndia, I’m moving on,” Kapoor wrote in her farewell post on LinkedIn. “This has been a defining chapter—building at scale, shaping people strategy, and aligning culture with business ambition. More than anything, it has been about creating organisations that can sustain and evolve beyond individuals.”
Over the course of her career, she has held senior positions at Tata Communications, IBM, ING Vysya Life Insurance, and Oriflame India, building expertise in aligning HR with evolving business priorities.
