Angel Broking’s Prabhakar Tiwari re-designated as chief growth officer
Mumbai: Angel Broking has further fuelled its growth by re-designating CMO Prabhakar Tiwari as the new chief growth officer. In his new role, Tiwari will now also head sales at Angel along with marketing. He will be responsible for both client acquisition and sales transformation.
An IIM Bangalore alumnus, Tiwari has led Angel Broking’s marketing transformation since 2019. He has played an instrumental role in expanding the brokerage house's visibility through several award-winning campaigns along with a strong focus on performance marketing and technological integrations such as leveraging web and app analytics and AI/ML based retargeting campaigns. Under his leadership, some notable campaigns include ‘#DontBeAChomu’, ‘#ShagunKeShares’, ‘Aage Badhne Ka Smart Sauda’, and ‘Ek Nayi Shuruaat’. He has previously also held key positions across several leading consumer and digital companies such as Marico, CEAT and PayU.
Tiwari said, “I strongly believe that only high-tech interventions coupled with relevant KPIs must justify any business effort. It is precisely what we have done in marketing and achieved phenomenal results on the ground. Today, it is a moment of pride and resolve for me, as I’m being handed over additional responsibilities of sales and sales transformation. I look forward to leading the next phase of rapid growth towards the market leadership.”
Angel Broking CEO Vinay Agrawal said, “Prabhakar is a strategic fit for this role as he is focused while devising and executing business plans. His data driven approach has added considerable value to our ongoing efforts of growing the business. I am confident that Prabhakar will be pivotal in unlocking the next phase of growth at Angel Broking, especially as we eye the pole position.”
Angel Broking CMD Dinesh Thakkar, said, “At Angel Broking, Prabhakar has built a distinct candidature with his attention to detail and a ‘never say never’ attitude. His working style is unique. He always keeps his team high-spirited and driven towards actionable goals. Still, we believe his true potential is yet to be tapped and are happy to announce his re-designation as chief growth officer.”
The brokerage house is making advances into tier-2, tier-3 and beyond cities – while also receiving footfall of millennials from urban regions. It has recently launched several millennial-centric offerings including smart money (education), smartAPI (automated trading), international investing in partnership with vested and ARQ prime (investment engine) alongside others.
MUMBAI: In India’s fast-moving payments race, Visa has just swiped in a new leader. The company has named Suresh Sethi as its India country head, marking a key leadership shift as it sharpens its focus on digital payments growth in the market. Sethi steps into the role following his recent exit from Protean eGov Technologies, where he served as chief executive officer. He succeeds Sandeep Ghosh, who has moved on after more than four years at Visa to pursue an external opportunity.
The appointment comes at a time when Visa is doubling down on its expansion strategy across India and the wider region, deepening partnerships and accelerating adoption in an increasingly competitive digital payments ecosystem.
Sethi brings with him a broad, cross-market perspective shaped by decades of experience across corporate banking, retail financial services, mobile money and large-scale government technology initiatives. He began his career at Citigroup, where he spent 14 years working across India, Africa, South America and the United States, focusing on transaction banking services within the corporate bank.
His appointment signals a blend of institutional experience and market familiarity qualities that could prove critical as Visa navigates a landscape where fintech innovation, regulatory evolution and consumer adoption are all accelerating at once.
As digital payments in India continue to scale rapidly, the leadership change underscores a simple reality, in a market where every tap, scan and swipe counts, who leads the charge can matter just as much as the technology itself.
