Tenon FM elevates Ankur Sachdev to CEO as it eyes next-gen growth
MUMBAI: Tenon Group has named Ankur Sachdev as the new chief executive officer of Tenon FM, its facility management arm, in a leadership move that signals a sharper focus on tech, scale, and bottom-line muscle.
A Tenon veteran since 2008, Ankur brings nearly two decades of experience in FM and security services, having risen through the ranks after his start at Peregrine Guarding, the group’s flagship security venture. Prior to that, he held roles at Sodexo FM India and is an MBA by training.
Ankur now takes the wheel at a pivotal juncture as Tenon FM pushes for deeper digital integration, client-centric innovation, and international expansion. His remit includes beefing up operational efficiency, strengthening the P&L, and leading the charge across both domestic and overseas markets.
Commenting on the appointment, Tenon Group global chairman Major Manjit Rajain said, “Ankur has played a pivotal role in the Group’s journey, and his elevation reflects our commitment to nurturing leadership that truly understands our DNA. His deep industry expertise, unwavering focus on operational excellence, and proven track record of securing and retaining marquee clients make him the ideal leader to steer Tenon FM into its next phase of growth.”
He further added that this leadership move reaffirms Tenon Group’s commitment to innovation, continuity, and excellence in integrated service delivery.
Reflecting on his appointment, Sachdev said, “It is an honour to lead Tenon FM during such a transformative period for the facility management industry. I look forward to leveraging cutting-edge technologies, fostering strong client relationships, and driving sustainable, profitable growth across India and global markets.”
With presence across India, the UK, Singapore, and Germany, Tenon FM is positioning itself as a future-ready player in integrated services—and Ankur’s elevation is a clear play to make that ambition real.
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.
