I am currently CEO of Zerodha Asset Management Pvt Ltd and have over 25 years of experience in financial services including 20 plus years building ETFs and passive products.

I started my career in the AMC industry as part of the founding team of Benchmark AMC which launched India’s first ETF in 2001 - Nifty BeES as its first Fund Manager. After the acquisition of Benchmark AMC by Goldman Sachs AMC India in 2011, I was the Chief Investment Officer of the Passive business. In my last role, I was Head-ETF at Nippon Life India Asset Management Ltd and oversaw the scale up of the ETF Business from Rs.7,500 crore to over 50,000 crores in 2022.

I have been part of various committees and groups relating to development of passive products in India. Recently, I was part of the “Working Group on Passive Funds” constituted by SEBI to recommend changes in Regulations and Market Infrastructure to foster the growth of ETFs and Index Funds.
