BANGALORE: In yet another development that is expected to reiterate India's position on the global technology front, outsourcing services company ‘Accenture’ has elevated Bhaskar Ghosh as its group chief executive for technology delivery, and inducted him to its Global Management Committee, reports TNN.

Prior to Accenture, Ghosh was VP of IT infrastructure management services at Infosys and he also held senior positions with Philips. Ghosh joined Accenture in 2003 to head the company's delivery in India.
In his new role, Ghosh has been assigned to carry forward the additional responsibility for managing Accenture's portfolio of software solutions. He will also continue to look after the overall responsibility for global delivery capacity in technology sector by bringing in delivery innovation and productivity through intelligent tooling and other automations. Ghosh’s new role will be effective from September 1, 2014, and he would directly report to Accenture's Chairman and CEO Pierre Nanterme.
Along with this Accenture also announced that Paul Daugherty, will be on the 21-member global management committee.
Chairman and CEO Pierre Nanterme said, "I am delighted to welcome Paul Daugherty and Bhaskar Ghosh, two of our most accomplished technology executives, to our Global Management Committee."
