Zaggle doubles down on growth with two new faces at the Fintech table
MUMBAI: When scale meets structure, leadership tends to follow. Zaggle Prepaid Ocean Services Limited, India’s spend management and SaaS-led Fintech firm, has strengthened its senior ranks with two key appointments aimed at fuelling growth while tightening financial discipline.
The company has appointed Nilesh Dadpe as executive vice president for cross sell and Rajesh Tummalaganti as deputy chief financial officer. The move comes as Zaggle scales its platform, expands its portfolio and sharpens its focus on long-term, profitable growth.
In his new role, Dadpe will focus on extracting deeper value from Zaggle’s existing corporate client base, driving wider adoption of its solutions and strengthening long-term partnerships. With a background spanning enterprise sales, customer engagement and solution-led growth, his mandate centres on boosting customer lifetime value and building a more predictable revenue engine.
Tummalaganti, as Deputy CFO, will take charge of reinforcing financial controls, compliance, reporting and capital planning. His experience in financial governance and scaling finance functions is expected to support Zaggle’s emphasis on transparency, fiscal discipline and value creation as a listed FinTech company.
Commenting on the appointments, Zaggle founder and executive chairman Raj P. Narayanam said the additions reflect the company’s focus on leadership that delivers strategic impact while inspiring stakeholder confidence. He noted that Dadpe’s cross-sell expertise strengthens Zaggle’s growth engine, while Tummalaganti’s financial acumen reinforces governance and capital discipline.
Together, the expanded leadership team is expected to play a pivotal role in accelerating portfolio expansion, improving operational efficiency and maximising customer lifecycle value ensuring Zaggle’s next phase of growth is as controlled as it is ambitious.

Beacon Group appoints Dr Rajesh Patel as Group CEO
36-year healthcare veteran to lead Beacon Diagnostics, Vector Biotek, Biogeny.
MUMBAI: A new chief, a fresh diagnosis and a sharper prescription for growth. Beacon Group has appointed Dr Rajesh Patel as its Group Chief Executive Officer, effective April 1, 2026, signalling a decisive push to scale its presence in the diagnostics and IVD space. Patel steps into the role with 36 years of experience across the healthcare and diagnostics industry, bringing a career shaped by leadership roles spanning sales, marketing, business development and operational strategy. His mandate is both expansive and precise: to steer the group’s overall strategic direction while tightening coordination across its three core entities Beacon Diagnostics, Vector Biotek and Biogeny Diagnostics.
In practical terms, that means driving cross-company synergies, accelerating market expansion and strengthening organisational capability areas increasingly critical as diagnostic players compete for scale in a fragmented yet rapidly evolving healthcare ecosystem. The group is positioning itself to capture unmet demand across chain laboratories, key accounts and standalone labs, segments that remain underserved despite growing diagnostic needs.
The appointment comes at a time when the In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) sector in India is entering a more competitive and innovation-led phase, with companies focusing not just on product pipelines but also on service delivery, integration and customer-centric models. Beacon’s leadership appears to be betting that Patel’s execution-focused approach can help translate ambition into operational momentum.
Welcoming the appointment, Chairman Dr D K Joshi described Patel’s induction as a strategic move aligned with the group’s long-term vision, emphasising the role of leadership depth in navigating the next phase of growth.
For Beacon Group, the message is clear, in a sector where precision matters, leadership is the new differentiator—and this appointment is intended to set the tone for what comes next.
