Unolabs names Sandeep Sudarshan Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer

Unolabs, the United Kingdom-headquartered enterprise intelligence engineering firm helping government and enterprise clients turn data into AI-powered products, today announced that Sandeep Sudarshan has come on board as Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer, effective August 6. Sudarshan brings more than 30 years of experience across telecom, technology consulting, and enterprise transformation.

The move marks a significant step in Unolabs' push to deepen its presence in the UK and India, its key markets, alongside its expansion across Europe, Australia, and the Middle East.

Sudarshan steps into this role after nearly four years at Capgemini, where he served as CTO for Telecom & Media in the UK. In that role, he led a team of techno-commercial solution architects who drove large-scale transformation programs across IT, networks, and devices for telecom and media clients in the UK and Europe. He worked closely with Capgemini's frog, consulting, insights and data, cloud and integration, and applications and engineering practices to build value propositions for telco clients, and extended connectivity-driven solutioning into automotive, energy and utilities, and public sector accounts. His career spans leadership roles at Wipro and Capgemini Engineering, giving him a rare vantage point across both the telecom operator and consulting sides of the industry.

As Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer, Sudarshan serves on Unolabs' founding leadership team and leads growth strategy and the company's media and market positioning. His mandate carries weight in the UK, where Unolabs generates the bulk of its client engagements and where Sudarshan spent nearly four years building relationships across the telecom and media sector.

"With 30 years of CXO-level leadership across global consultancies, Sandeep brings not just deep strategic expertise, but a network built over decades of trusted relationships, the kind that opens doors and shapes markets. As we scale, having someone who has sat at the table with the world's leading organizations gives us an extraordinary head start. We're not just gaining a growth leader; we're gaining a partner who has already walked this path many times before. Welcome aboard, Sandeep Sudarshan, the next chapter starts now," said Binu Kuttappan, CTO of Unolabs.

"Sandeep joins as a co-founder, not an executive hire, and the distinction is deliberate. He has spent 30 years on the client side of the boardroom table, deciding which firm enterprises trust with their hardest problems, and he has chosen to build one. That tells you where we are taking this company: deeper into the UK, and into Australia and Hong Kong to the same standard," said Akshay Raj, CEO of Unolabs.

"In these exciting times for AI, I think it's best to build a startup with some of the brightest minds in the industry and solve genuinely complex business problems," said Sudarshan. "Our vision for Unolabs isn't about technology for its own sake; it's about solving hard problems and transforming businesses. These are interesting times ahead, and we want Unolabs to be part of this evolving ecosystem around data and AI."

Sudarshan has built a reputation as a thought leader in emerging technologies, including AI, Industry 4.0, IoT, and mobility, and brings a track record of consultative selling and account growth in the UK telecom market.
