Cognitute Consulting, a global management consulting firm trusted by disruptive leaders from seed-stage startups to large corporates, announced the appointment of Mrinali Jain as Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, effective May 28, 2026. This milestone marks a significant chapter in the firm's journey since its restart eight months ago.
New Leadership for Growth
Mrinali Jain, who has been instrumental in the firm's rebuild from zero to one, now takes on the mandate to lead Cognitute from one to ten. As CEO, she holds the largest ownership stake and assumes full strategic and operational leadership. Her immediate priorities include deepening Cognitute's presence across APAC and the Middle East, scaling the next-generation consulting team, and accelerating AI integration across all service lines.
Founder's Strategic Transition
Founder Ashok Deepan steps down from day-to-day operations and core ownership, transitioning to build Cognitute's upcoming Agentic AI venture while continuing to lead sales and growth. This deliberate decision frees Deepan to create a globally recognized AI technology organization while placing operational future in the hands of earned leaders.
Ashok Deepan, Founder, Cognitute Consulting, said: “The last eight months have been extraordinary. We rebuilt this organization brick by brick. Mrinali embodies everything Cognitute stands for. Handing her the CEO mandate is the most important growth decision I have made.”
Mrinali Jain, CEO and Co-Founder, Cognitute Consulting, said: “Cognitute was built on performance, ownership, and a vision greater than any single role. I carry that forward with full commitment. The opportunity across APAC and the Middle East is significant, and we will build this next chapter with rigor, courage, and a team that leads from the front.”
