X0PA AI names Sri Harsha Allamraju president

X0PA AI has promoted former CTO Sri Harsha Allamraju to president, giving him control of product and commercial functions across four operating regions as the Singapore-based hiring platform expands its agentic AI business. The move takes effect immediately and leaves founder Nina Alag Suri focused on strategy, capital and dealmaking.

Why it matters: - X0PA AI is centralizing execution under one leader as it pushes further into government, enterprise and academic hiring markets. - The move is designed to speed product decisions, tighten commercial accountability and support the company’s next phase of growth. - The appointment also frees founder and CEO Nina Alag Suri to focus on corporate strategy, capital, mergers and acquisitions, and global go-to-market.

What happened: - X0PA AI appointed Sri Harsha Allamraju as president, effective immediately. - Allamraju will report to founder and CEO Nina Alag Suri. - Allamraju now oversees all product and commercial functions across X0PA AI’s four operating regions. - He also takes on operational execution of the company’s growth plan. - X0PA AI said the change consolidates product, engineering and commercial reporting lines under a single executive.

The details: - Allamraju joined X0PA AI in 2019 as VP Engineering and later became chief technology officer. - He led technical due diligence across X0PA AI’s acquisition program. - He helped shape the architecture behind AI Recruiter and Recruitment Process Outsourcing. - He also managed cross-regional operations as X0PA AI expanded from Singapore into India, the UAE and the UK. - X0PA AI was founded in Singapore in 2017. - The company opened its India office in 2018, was accredited by IMDA in 2019, established its UAE presence in 2020 and opened its UK office in 2021. - X0PA AI says the platform is compliant with the AI Verify Framework. - The company says every decision the platform produces is documented and reviewable, which supports public-sector and higher-education procurement requirements in Singapore, India and the UAE. - X0PA AI serves governments, enterprises and academic institutions across Singapore, India, the UK, the UAE and the United States. - The company says it has maintained a customer NPS of 91.

Between the lines: - The promotion signals that X0PA AI is moving from a founder-led operating model toward a more delegated structure as the business scales. - The emphasis on documented, reviewable decisions reflects how compliance and transparency are becoming product features, not just policy language, in AI hiring. - X0PA AI’s focus on agentic AI suggests the company is trying to automate more of the recruitment workflow end to end, not just assist with candidate screening.

What's next: - Allamraju is expected to drive product delivery and commercial execution across X0PA AI’s markets. - X0PA AI is continuing to expand its agentic AI product line for end-to-end recruitment automation. - The company is also likely to keep broadening its customer footprint across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Europe.

The bottom line: - X0PA AI is putting a former CTO in charge of day-to-day execution as it scales a regulated, transparency-focused AI hiring platform.
