Bengaluru, April 2026 — Priya Mohan joins JoulestoWatts (J2W), India’s largest GCC-focused AI transformation and consulting firm, as Chief Operating Officer. Priya brings two plus decades of experience spanning investment, operations, and enterprise technology, including her most recent role at a leading global venture capital firm – General Catalyst, where she tracked the GCC and enterprise AI landscape in India. At J2W, she takes on a mandate that spans full arc of J2Ws AI implementation practice, from diagnostic and strategy through execution, change management, and outcome delivery.
Priya’s move from capital to execution was deliberate. During her time at GC, she tracked the GCC and IT services landscape in India -home to over 1,700 GCCs today, employing close to 1.9 million professionals, contributing ~$65 billion to exports – growing to $125 BN in the next few years. Fortune 500 companies are not just expanding existing captive centers, they are actively moving them up the value chain, from cost arbitrage to genuine engineering and AI led innovation.
She joins J2W to work on that problem from the inside. “AI does not have a capability problem,” said Priya Mohan. “It has a context problem with respect to enterprises. I spent years in venture watching companies raise capital on the strength of AI roadmaps and then quietly struggle to operationalise them. I moved to JoulestoWatts because this is where that work actually gets done.”
Priti Sawant, Founder and CEO of JoulestoWatts said, “Priya brings a perspective shaped by seeing enterprise AI from the outside, with the rigor of making hard calls on what truly works, and now applies that within execution, exactly what customers need. We align on using AI indicators to deeply understand customer context and translate that into precision-led execution that drives true customer delight at the minutest level.”
Previously, Priya spent seven years as a venture investor at Venture Highway LLP and subsequently General Catalyst India, where she backed and sat on the boards of companies including FamPay, Ivy Homes, CheQ, Drivetrain, Kula, Primus Senior Living, and PB Health. Before her investing career, she co-founded ed-tech company, Vidyartha, which was among BYju’s first few acquisitions.
