MUMBAI: Paisabazaar has appointed Santosh Agarwal as its chief executive officer, stepping up to head PB Fintech’s credit distribution platform. She succeeds Naveen Kukreja, who has moved to PB Fintech Limited as group president while retaining a non-executive director role at Paisabazaar.

Agarwal, a seasoned financial expert with over a decade at the company, previously headed the life insurance segment at Policybazaar as chief business officer. Her guidance is expected to drive the platform’s next phase of growth as it diversifies beyond credit products into savings and pension services. This strategic expansion follows a slowdown in the unsecured lending sector, prompting Paisabazaar to explore new opportunities.

Further strengthening its management, PB Fintech has appointed Neeraj Tripathi as chief financial officer, succeeding Vivek Audichya, who has transitioned to Policybazaar. These changes reflect the group’s focus on innovation and resilience in a shifting financial landscape.
