Jhankhana Desai is a first-generation entrepreneur, a passionate nature lover, and a lifelong student of books and ideas. With a deep-rooted purpose to transform the people-centric service industry, she took a bold leap from a successful decade-long corporate career—with leadership roles at multinationals like Colgate-Palmolive, RICOH India, Fascel (now Vodafone), and GTL Limited—to found KServe BPO Private Limited during the pioneering days of offshoring in India.
What she lacked in capital, she made up for with her unwavering focus, an innate ability to connect with people, and a contagious sense of humor that helped her lead through adversity. Over the past two decades, under her leadership, KServe has grown into a 1000+ strong team, delivered excellence to over 200 global clients, and is now at the forefront of AI-led digital transformation in the BPO industry.
Her impact goes beyond business—Jhankhana has actively shaped the industry’s future through her role as Chairperson of the Digital Technology Committee at the IMC Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Mumbai, and as a member of the SME Council at NASSCOM. Her story is one of courage, resilience, and innovation—with purpose at the core of it all.
