Bangalore:Basab Pradhan, former global head of sales at India’s second largest software exporter Infosys Ltd, has joined Sunnyvale, California-based cloud computing start-up CliQr Technologies as chief executive.

Pradhan takes over from CliQr’s co-founder Gaurav Manglik, who will take on the role of chief strategy officer, the company said in a statement.

“Basab brings a proven track record as a leader of companies at various stages of maturity, with demonstrated success for aggressively growing businesses to be multi-billion dollar organizations," Manglik was cited as saying.

“I am very excited about the opportunity to lead a company that is at the cusp of something really big and important in enterprise technology," Pradhan wrote in a post on his personal blog.
