FundsIndia appoints Akshay Sapru as Group CEO

FundsIndia has appointed Akshay Sapru as its Group Chief Executive Officer. The leadership change comes at a time when the digital investment platform evolves into a full-spectrum wealth management firm.

Sapru will report to the Board of Directors and lead the company’s strategic direction and growth across all verticals, the company said in a statement. Having evolved beyond its digital-only roots, FundsIndia now operates across major metros with strong B2C, B2B and Private Wealth verticals, it added.

With a career spanning over 27 years in the BFSI sector, Sapru’s expertise covers a broad spectrum, including retail banking, affluent banking, private wealth management, strategy, sales, customer engagement, and digital innovation. Before joining FundsIndia, he served as the Country Head for Private Banking, Spectrum Banking, and Liabilities Products at Yes Bank Ltd. After beginning his banking career at ICICI Bank, he also went on to hold key leadership positions at ABN AMRO/RBS and IndusInd Bank.

Sapru takes over the leadership baton from Girirajan Murugan, who successfully led FundsIndia since 2019 and played an instrumental role in WestBridge’s acquisition of majority ownership in FundsIndia in August 2023.
