    Reema Jain rides off into sunset, resigns as chief information & digital officer at Hero Motocorp

    MUMBAI: Hero Motocorp is about to lose one of its digital superheroes. Reema Jain, the driving force behind Hero’s ambitious digital transformation, decided it’s time to hang up her cape and ride off towards fresh adventures. After steering Hero Motocorp through a whirlwind digital overhaul spanning R&D, supply chains, marketing, and customer engagement, Jain officially announced her departure, effective 17 April 2025.

    Under her leadership, Hero built a robust platform-product structure, establishing from scratch a dream team specialising in data science, digital engineering, cyber security, connected platforms, martech, and cloud computing. Jain masterminded key revenue-driving platforms like direct to customer, a slick customer app, and eFin, a finance aggregator platform.

    Before her time at Hero, Jain brought digital dynamism to Vodafone Idea, Unilever, and GE, showcasing an unmatched ability to weave tech magic into corporate giants. Her tenure included significant roles such as chief digital officer at Vodafone Idea, IT director at Unilever, and multiple leadership roles at GE.

    Now, as Jain moves on, Hero Motocorp faces the challenge of filling the sizeable shoes she leaves behind. The question isn’t just who will follow—but who dares to?

    As Hero prepares to wave goodbye, one thing’s clear: Jain rewrote the digital rulebook.
