About Sunit Prakash MNZM JP CITPNZ MMS

Sunit Prakash is a director‑level technology leader with over20 years’ experience in enterprise IT, ERP and digital transformation, working with blue‑chip customers across New Zealand, Asia–Pacific and India.

He was appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to the IT industry and the Indian community and has been recognised as a Finalist in both the NZ CIO Awards 2024 and the Wellington Airport Community Awards 2024.

A career woven through Baan, Rappit and NZ - India Corridor

Earlier in his career, Sunit ran Baan Customer Service & Support for Asia–Pacific & Japan, working directly with the teams that helped make Baan one of the world’s leading ERP vendors and an early entrant into India’s tech ecosystem.

Today, he works with Rappit - the modern low‑code and AI-enabled platform created by Jan Baan and his family to connect ERP legacy with the future - and applies that combined Baan/Rappit lineage through Sun:IT, his consulting and delivery vehicle for ERP and legacy modernisation, programme recovery and IT operating models.

Based in Wellington, New Zealand, Sunit also co-founded the New Zealand Centre for Digital Connections with India (CDC), recognised in the King’s Birthday Honours. Through CDC and the Cloud Sherpas initiative, he convenes NZ-India digital and diaspora networks; through Sun:IT, he turns that insight into practical projects for clients.

Track record & “how I work”

• Led the transformation of Asia–Pacific & Japan support operations for a Nasdaq‑listed ERP vendor to Best in Class customer satisfaction, using Lean (documented in a published case study).
• Delivered large, high‑stakes programmes where failure would have been on the front page – including the Telecom Refresh project synchronising ANZ & National Bank service models, and Elections 2020 work for Parliamentary Service.
• Developed a library of models to rapidly understand current state, co‑design future‑state options with clients, and execute pragmatically rather than theoretically.

In short: more than 20 satisfied customers, more than 20 successful projects, more than 20 years’ experience, and a track record of delivering in complex delivery models.

Superpower and credentials

Sunit’s “superpower” is helping organisations script better stories for their services - and then turning those stories into reality in a way that earns internal and external recognition.

He is a Member of IT Professionals NZ, a Chartered IT Professional (BCS), and holds ITIL, ISO 20000 and TOGAF certifications. He is familiar with frameworks including eTOM, COBIT, ISO 9000, ISO 27000, ISO 31000, SIAM and SFIA.
