GoTo, a software as a service (SaaS) company, announced the appointment of Yogesh Pant as Managing Director of India and Vice President of Engineering.
Yogesh succeeds Madhusudan Krishnapuram, who previously served as Managing Director of India and Vice President of Engineering since May 2016.
In this capacity, he will oversee GoTo’s India operations while continuing to lead global engineering efforts, driving product development, scaling, and performance with a sharp focus on business growth and strategy.

Prior to his appointment as India Managing Director, he served as GoTo’s VP of Engineering, a position he continues to hold in addition to his new role.
Prior to his tenure at GoTo, Yogesh worked with Persistent Systems and CoreObjects, where he contributed to building high-performance teams and scalable technology solutions.
Yogesh’s deep expertise has been instrumental in building and scaling GoTo’s global data platform and in leading platform engineering across commerce, identity, and business systems. With hands-on experience in big data, cloud infrastructure, and AI, he has successfully led cross-functional teams across India, North America, and Europe, driving innovation and operational excellence through multiple organizational transformations.
