PB Fintech has announced a series of key leadership changes and strategic updates, including the re-appointment of independent directors and the appointment of a new additional director. The Board has also approved an extension for the company’s employee stock option plan. These transitions, which include the upcoming departure of a long-standing board member, aim to strengthen corporate governance as the company prepares for the next phase of growth beginning in June 2026.
Board Leadership Transitions
Following a board meeting held on May 11, 2026, PB Fintech has finalized important changes to its leadership team. Mrs. Veena Vikas Mankar and Mr. Nilesh Bhaskar Sathe have been approved for a second term as Non-Executive Independent Directors, spanning five years from June 19, 2026, to June 18, 2031.
New Appointment to the Board
The company has appointed Ms. Jyotsana Vempati Aggarwal as an Additional Director in the capacity of an Independent Director, effective May 11, 2026. With over thirty years of experience in digital platforms and social enterprise, and as the co-founder and CEO of Wysa, Ms. Aggarwal brings extensive expertise in artificial intelligence and health technology to the board.
Audit Committee Reconstitution
The Audit Committee is set to undergo a structural shift due to the upcoming term expiration of Mr. Kaushik Dutta, who will step down on June 18, 2026. Following this change, the committee will be reconstituted with Mr. Dhruv Shringi serving as Chairperson, alongside members Mr. Nilesh Bhaskar Sathe and Ms. Kitty Agarwal.
Employee Benefit Enhancements
In addition to leadership changes, the board has approved an amendment to the PB Fintech Employees Stock Option Plan (ESOP 2021), specifically to extend its closing date. These decisions, along with the director appointments, remain subject to formal shareholder approval to be conducted via a postal ballot in the near future.
