Info Edge appoints founder Sanjeev Bikhchandani back as CEO and managing director after Hitesh Oberoi steps down. Business Line and other outlets report that Bikhchandani is taking over following Oberoi’s long tenure as head of the company.
The reports frame the change as a leadership transition at the Naukri parent, with Business Line adding details on the appointment period. It says Bikhchandani’s term is scheduled to run until April 26, 2031, aligning with a shareholder-approved term.
Across coverage, outlets also describe the broader context of what the leadership change is meant to support. Business Line links the move to the company’s plans to build on existing internet businesses, expand newer platforms, and continue investing in India’s start-up ecosystem. Inc42 similarly notes Bikhchandani taking up an executive role (executive vice chairman, MD) as Oberoi steps aside.
