PhonePe appoints Srijon Biswas as its Chief Technology Officer (CTO) with immediate effect. Biswas, who has been with the fintech company for nearly a decade and previously led engineering, will now oversee PhonePe’s entire engineering organization. He continues to report to PhonePe co-founder Rahul Chari, according to the company.
In a related leadership update, Rahul Chari moves into an expanded role as Chief Product and Technology Officer (CPTO) while remaining a co-founder. The company says his mandate already covered technology, product, trust and safety, and data sciences and analytics. It also says Chari has recently added customer experience and artificial intelligence (AI) to his responsibilities, alongside leading other strategic initiatives across the PhonePe Group.
The changes position Biswas to lead technology and engineering functions, while Chari’s CPTO role brings together broader product and technology oversight, including additional areas such as AI and customer experience.
