PhonePe Elevates Srijon Biswas as CTO; Rahul Chari Takes on Expanded CPTO Role

PhonePe

New Delhi: Digital payments and fintech major PhonePe has appointed Srijon Biswas as its new Chief Technology Officer (CTO) with immediate effect, marking a key leadership transition as the company continues to strengthen its technology and product capabilities.

Biswas, who has been associated with PhonePe for nearly a decade, previously served as the Head of Engineering. In his new role, he will lead the company’s entire engineering organisation and continue reporting to PhonePe Co-founder Rahul Chari.

As part of the leadership restructuring, Rahul Chari, who earlier served as the company’s CTO, has assumed the role of Chief Product and Technology Officer (CPTO) while continuing in his capacity as Co-founder. The expanded role will enable Chari to oversee both product strategy and technology innovation as PhonePe accelerates the development of its digital financial services ecosystem.

The appointments reflect PhonePe’s continued focus on strengthening its leadership team to support innovation, scalability, and product excellence. By separating engineering leadership from broader product and technology strategy, the fintech firm aims to drive faster execution while expanding its portfolio of digital payments, financial services, insurance, lending, and wealth management offerings.
