One MobiKwik Systems has elevated Dhruv Wadhera to the role of chief business officer (CBO) – Offline Merchant Payments, alongside a series of leadership promotions across its business and governance functions, as the fintech company looks to accelerate growth following a strong FY26.
Wadhera, who has led MobiKwik's offline merchant payments business since 2023, will now oversee the company's next phase of offline merchant expansion across organised retail, oil and gas, general trade, and devices. In his new role, he will focus on scaling merchant acquiring products, improving operational efficiency, strengthening merchant retention and enhancing device economics as MobiKwik works towards its FY28 profitability goals.
The company has also promoted Abhishek Mukherji to senior vice president – Bharat Connect (Recharges & Bill Payments) and Online Merchant Payments. In addition to leading the recharge and bill payments business, Mukherji will now head Zaakpay, MobiKwik's payment gateway business, with the objective of scaling its online merchant payments business tenfold by FY28.
Meanwhile, Saurabh Taneja has been elevated to senior vice president, Governance. He will oversee regulatory compliance, company secretarial and legal affairs, with a mandate to further strengthen governance processes, risk management and compliance frameworks as the company expands.
Commenting on the appointments, Bipin Preet Singh, co-founder, managing director and CEO of MobiKwik, said, "Following a strong year for MobiKwik, we are entering our next phase of growth with a clear focus on expanding our merchant ecosystem, strengthening our institutional capabilities, and building new growth engines across our businesses. As we scale, it is important that leadership grows from within."
He added that Dhruv Wadhera, Abhishek Mukherji and Saurabh Taneja have consistently demonstrated strong leadership and execution capabilities, expressing confidence that their expanded responsibilities will help the company strengthen its market position and create long-term value.
The leadership changes come as part of MobiKwik's broader organisational strengthening efforts over the past year, which have included the appointment of a chief risk officer, a dedicated head of governance, and the expansion of its board with 63% independent directors.
