PhonePe elevates Srijon Biswas as Chief Technology Officer

MUMBAI: Every great app runs on invisible code but every leap forward begins with the people writing it. PhonePe has promoted Srijon Biswas to the role of Chief Technology Officer (CTO), reinforcing its technology leadership as the fintech company gears up for the next phase of growth across India’s rapidly evolving digital ecosystem.

In his new role, Biswas will lead PhonePe’s engineering organisation while continuing to report to Rahul Chari, Co-founder of PhonePe. The elevation comes as the company doubles down on building scalable technology platforms to support its expanding portfolio of digital services.

The appointment underscores PhonePe’s continued focus on engineering capability at a time when competition in India’s fintech and digital services market is intensifying, with reliability, scale and product innovation becoming key differentiators.

Announcing the leadership change, Chari said strengthening the company’s technology leadership is a natural progression as PhonePe continues to grow. He added that Biswas’s appointment reflects the company’s commitment to investing in engineering excellence and developing technology platforms that will power the future of digital India.

Commenting on his new role, Biswas said he is excited to lead PhonePe’s engineering teams and continue driving innovation, reliability and scale while building products that serve hundreds of millions of Indians.

The leadership move signals PhonePe’s intent to further strengthen its technology backbone as it expands beyond digital payments into a broader suite of financial and digital services.
