Speaking on his appointment, Venkata said: “The digital ecosystem in India and APAC is expanding at an unprecedented pace. But for this growth to be truly transformative, it must also be inclusive. Digital accessibility is no longer a compliance checkbox; it is fundamental to building equitable societies and resilient businesses. I am excited to work alongside Deque’s global and regional teams to champion accessibility and ensure that technology becomes a bridge, not a barrier, for millions of users.”

Sujasree Kurapati, Managing Director of Deque Systems, India, added: “We are thrilled to have Venkata on board. His expertise in scaling SaaS businesses globally, coupled with his deep passion for inclusive technology, makes him the ideal leader to drive our India and APAC strategy. This appointment reflects Deque’s long-term commitment to enabling organizations in the region to embrace accessibility, not just as a regulatory requirement, but as a powerful driver of innovation, customer trust, and business growth.”

“Venkata’s leadership will be invaluable in driving the next phase of growth for us in the APAC region. These regions are at a crucial stage in their digital journey, and I am confident in our ability to help organisations achieve digital accessibility transformation,” said Preety Kumar, CEO of Deque Systems.

Recent regulatory updates, including those from SEBI in India, underscore the increasing importance of digital accessibility as a vital standard for businesses. Deque, as a recognized global leader in accessibility, is proud to work with major banks, e-commerce companies, SaaS providers, and government agencies worldwide. In India, designation as a government-empaneled accessibility vendor enables Deque to support organizations across sectors in making their digital platforms usable for everyone, including people with disabilities.

Globally, Deque is at the forefront of digital accessibility innovation, setting the pace with its flagship open-source tool, axe-core, which has surpassed 3 billion downloads. The recent launch of the axe MCP Server further reinforces Deque’s position as a global leader in accessibility technology.
