kohinoor biswas bharatpe: BharatPe appoints Kohinoor Biswas as head of its consumer lending business PostPe

Fintech startup BharatPe has appointed Kohinoor Biswas as the head of its consumer lending vertical. Biswas was heading the credit card portfolio at ICICI Bank in his previous stint.

This is the third major change at the top for the New Delhi-based fintech after its cofounders Ashneer Grover and Bhavik Koladiya left the company.

Earlier BharatPe appointed Aparna Kuppuswamy as its chief risk officer and Sandeep Indurkar as its chief business officer.

Kuppuswamy was a top executive at SBICard before joining BharatPe and Indurkar was the payments head at ICICI Bank.

Biswas will be reporting to Nalin Negi, the acting CEO and CFO at BharatPe. Negi was at SBICard earlier.

Biswas is an experienced credit card business head having worked extensively in this domain at ICICI Bank and prior to that in HDFC Bank. At BharatPe he will be leading the entire lending business.

Negi said, with Biswas at the helm, BharatPe will build PostPe 2.0, which he claimed is clocking an annualised total payment volume of around Rs 5,000 crore.
