    Upgrad taps Sunita Mohanty to steer revenue ship into global waters

    MUMBAI: When a growth rocket needs fuel, you call in a heavy hitter. And that’s exactly what Upgrad Enterprise has done by appointing Sunita Mohanty as its new revenue head. Effective March 2025, the skilling juggernaut has onboarded the industry veteran to supercharge strategy, scale partnerships, and rake in revenues from India to the middle east—and a few time zones beyond.

    Announced on 2 April 2025, this strategic hire marks a bold step as Upgrad doubles down on its mission to build a future-ready workforce through enterprise learning. Mohanty isn’t just bringing her suitcase to the Bengaluru HQ—she’s bringing a two-decade track record of turning chaos into quarter-on-quarter miracles.

    Armed with 25+ years of firepower across Wipro, Oracle, Capgemini, Sodexo, and most recently, SAP (where she led cloud success services for the Indian subcontinent), Mohanty has seen it all. Sales, delivery, customer success, P&L management—she’s the kind of leader who’ll not just move the needle but replace it with a laser pointer.

    “It’s an exciting growth phase for us – we are doubling down on our business and leadership, to ensure continued growth. Sunita brings core capabilities in building and scaling high-impact enterprise solutions while also driving stronger customer engagement. Her strategic acumen will help us unlock new market opportunities and scale into newer regions to support global organisations build a future-ready talent pipeline for effective business ROI,” said Upgrad Enterprise CEO Srikanth Iyengar.

    Mohanty’s playbook will focus on expanding global enterprise partnerships, especially with India HQ organisations, GCCs and multinational players. Her sharp focus? GenAI, emerging tech, and the skilling solutions that make CFOs smile.

    “The rapid shifts in macroeconomic conditions and disruptive technological advancements are compelling businesses to rethink their workforce strategies. Organisations are no longer just adapting but actively future-proofing their talent to stay ahead in an ever-evolving landscape. For Upgrad Enterprise, this is an exciting opportunity to be a strategic partner in shaping the workforce of tomorrow. By bridging critical skill gaps and equipping employees with future-ready capabilities, we are driving not just learning, but transformation. I’m thrilled to be part of this next phase of growth and impact at Upgrad,” said Mohanty.

    An alumna of Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar, Mohanty will be based in Bengaluru. With a career crafted at the crossroads of tech and transformation, her arrival signals Upgrad’s serious push into global C-suite conversations.

  • Google’s Web Rangers 3 to promote internet safety

    Google’s Web Rangers 3 to promote internet safety

    MUMBAI: Google has announced the third edition of its Web Rangers contest on children’s day. It is an initiative to spread awareness about internet safety and promote digital citizenship.

    The competition aims to encourage teenagers to discover their hidden ninjas and unlock their creativity in highlighting the importance of cyber safety. After screening thousands of entries, the program will reward seven Web Rangers — who know all about staying smart, safe and savvy online.

    Google director (trust and safety) Sunita Mohanty said, “With the Web Rangers contest, our idea is to promote safe use of the Internet among school students and create better awareness amongst the teenagers on how to be good digital citizen and staying safe online. We have seen an overwhelming response to our first two editions and the participation numbers are only growing. This year, we are ramping our efforts to reach more and more teenagers across India and will be hosting many online and offline events.”

    The contest is open to students across the country within the age group of 10 and 17 years. Students can pick any one category.

    Details on the three categories:

    Campaign: Run your own internet safety campaign, either individually or as a team of three. It could be one large initiative or a collection of multiple projects like a social media campaign, a video series, awareness drives or all of them – there is no restriction on the format or the number of initiatives.

    Project: If you prefer to work individually and have that one amazing idea, then this is for you. The format is completely open – create a video, website, app or a game – but remember, it should empower users to stay safe on the Internet and learn what it takes to be a good digital citizen

    Poster: Put your creative hat on – design a poster that captures the theme of Internet safety and send it across to us. It is as simple as that.

    As part of its efforts to promote internet safety and digital citizenship, Google has been running programs to train student ambassadors and teachers across 5000 schools across states, covering topics like cyber-bullying, managing digital footprint, identifying fake content, dealing with online scams and more.

    The deadline for submitting the entries is 23:59pm on January 15, 2018.
