Interview: Vivek Bharadwaj, CIO, Happy Socks
ComputerWeekly, Tuesday, July 8th, 2025
The clothing manufacturer's IT chief has a foot in every aspect of the tech stack - and is placing data and AI at the centre of future digital strategy
Vivek Bharadwaj, CIO at clothing manufacturer Happy Socks, is an executive with an expansive portfolio. In addition to leading enterprise-wide technology strategy, IT transformation and digital marketing, he oversees the company's back-end systems, e-commerce roadmaps, cyber security measures, and data engineering and analysis.
In short, Bharadwaj has to wear a lot of hats - or, as Computer Weekly suggests to him, a lot of socks. It's a sentiment with which Bharadwaj concurs: 'I can look across our different functions, pull up the red threads as and when I see them, and find commonality in processes.'
