MUMBAI: Zaggle Prepaid Ocean Services Limited, India’s leading spend management and SaaS-led fintech player, has added fresh muscle to its senior leadership bench with two key appointments aimed at fuelling growth and tightening governance.
The company has named Nilesh Dadpe as executive vice president for cross sell and Rajesh Tummalaganti as deputy chief financial officer, signalling a clear intent to grow smarter while staying financially disciplined.
Dadpe steps in with a brief that is all about making more of what Zaggle already has. He will focus on deepening relationships with existing corporate clients and encouraging wider adoption of Zaggle’s solutions.

On the numbers side, Tummalaganti takes charge as deputy CFO, bringing a sharp eye for financial controls, compliance and strategic planning. His mandate includes strengthening reporting frameworks and supporting capital decisions, ensuring Zaggle’s finances remain as agile as its technology as the company grows its listed fintech footprint.
Zaggle founder and executive chairman Raj P. Narayanam, said the appointments reflect the company’s focus on balance. Growth, he noted, must go hand in hand with trust and transparency. While Dadpe adds firepower to the revenue engine, Tummalaganti reinforces the guardrails that keep the business steady.
Together, the expanded leadership team is expected to play a pivotal role in accelerating portfolio expansion, improving operational efficiency and delivering sustained value to customers, partners and shareholders. In short, Zaggle is tuning both its accelerator and its steering wheel as it heads into its next phase of growth.

Boeing appoints Barun as head of FP&A for global engineering function
Seasoned finance leader to steer budgets and strategy across global centres
BENGALURU: Boeing’s finance cockpit has a new pilot, and he is no stranger to turbulence or transformation. Boeing has appointed Barun as head of FP&A for global engineering, placing him at the centre of financial strategy for its worldwide engineering and technology operations.
Based in Bengaluru, Barun steps into a role that is as expansive as it is critical. He will serve as the primary finance lead for Boeing’s Engineering and Technology Centers globally, working closely with executive leadership to shape financial decisions, manage complex budgets, and design scalable finance processes that support the company’s growing engineering footprint.
In a note announcing his move Barun said, “I’m excited to share that I’ve joined Boeing Global Engineering. This opportunity is incredibly meaningful to me not just from a professional standpoint, but also for what Boeing represents globally.” He added that he looks forward to contributing to an organisation that continues to shape the future of aerospace and innovation.
Barun’s mandate spans strategic financial leadership, operational oversight, and stakeholder engagement. From directing large-scale budgets and schedules to influencing long-term organisational goals, the role blends financial discipline with business foresight. He will also lead cross-functional teams and partner with finance colleagues worldwide to support engineering programmes across geographies, including India.
The appointment caps a long stint at Juniper Networks, where Barun spent over a decade, most recently as finance senior manager. There, he led FP&A for global product business units and G&A functions, driving budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning. He also played a key role in enterprise-wide transformation, including spearheading an Oracle to SAP ERP migration and building advanced analytics capabilities using tools such as Tableau and SAP Analytics Cloud.
His earlier career includes finance leadership roles at Sony India Software Centre, Cognizant Technology Solutions, and Mphasis, where he focused on financial planning, governance frameworks, and operational efficiency across global delivery centres.
A chartered accountant from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, Barun brings nearly two decades of experience across financial planning, digital transformation, and analytics-led decision making.
His appointment comes at a time when global engineering operations are becoming increasingly complex and distributed, requiring sharper financial oversight and agile planning. With Barun at the helm of FP&A for engineering, Boeing appears to be tightening its financial playbook as it looks to scale innovation with discipline.
