Darwinbox Appoints Akshay Murthy as Vice President and Country Head for India

Darwinbox has appointed Akshay Murthy as Vice President and Country Head for India, adding experienced enterprise technology leadership as the AI-native human capital management (HCM) platform continues expanding its presence in one of its fastest-growing markets.

Announcing the move on LinkedIn, Akshay highlighted the rapid pace at which Indian enterprises are embedding AI into HR operations. He noted that while many organisations are moving AI from pilot programmes into core business functions, legacy HR systems often struggle to support that transition effectively.

As Vice President and Country Head, Akshay will lead Darwinbox's business strategy and growth initiatives across India, working closely with enterprise customers as they modernise HR operations through AI-driven technology.

His appointment comes at a time when organisations are increasingly investing in intelligent HR platforms capable of improving workforce planning, employee experiences, and operational efficiency.

Akshay joins the leadership role with more than 24 years of experience across enterprise SaaS and technology sales, having worked extensively with organisations scaling their business and digital transformation initiatives.

His background in enterprise technology and customer growth positions him to support Darwinbox as more businesses look to replace legacy HR systems with AI-native platforms built for modern workforce management.

Looking Ahead

AI is becoming a strategic priority across human resources, with organisations seeking platforms that can automate processes, improve decision-making, and deliver more personalised employee experiences.

With Akshay leading its India business, Darwinbox is strengthening its leadership team as it continues supporting enterprises on their HR transformation journeys and expanding the adoption of AI-native HCM solutions across the country.
