Long Ridge Equity Partners-backed finance, accounting and recruitment KPO leader appoints industry veteran Vijay Pahuja to lead its next phase of growth and transformation.
Mumbai, India - QX Global Group, a sector-led, technology-enabled knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) company backed by Long Ridge Equity Partners, today announced the appointment of Vijay Pahuja as Group Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Pom Chakravarti, who has led QX as Chief Executive Officer since 2024, will continue to serve on the QX Global Board and as a Senior Executive focused on strategic client relationships.
Vijay brings more than 25 years of experience building and scaling service-led businesses at the intersection of deep domain expertise and AI-led transformation. He joins QX from Sutherland Global Services, where he led a portfolio of business verticals across financial services and insurance and built the insurance vertical into a market leader, pioneering agentic AI delivery at scale. Earlier, in senior leadership roles at WNS, Cognizant and IBM, he scaled global revenues multi-fold and built global delivery businesses spanning financial services, insurance and enterprise services.
QX Global Group delivers AI-powered finance, accounting, recruitment and industry-specific knowledge and transformation services to mid-market businesses across the US, UK and Europe. Founded in 2003, with 3,000+ professionals across India, the UK and the Americas, QX holds category leadership in the accounting, real estate and staffing sectors, built on specialist domain expertise and strong client retention, with fast-growing practices in insurance, hospitality, CPG & retail and manufacturing.
Pahuja inherits a strong AI foundation: an acceleration lab, agentic architecture, and purpose-built platforms already running in live client environments. His focus is on scaling what works, and on the outcomes clients can measure, from margin expansion to growth without a proportional increase in headcount. It rests on a simple division of labor: AI does the heavy lifting, and QX's professionals own the judgment and the result.
