In a major leadership move, BharatPe-backed fintech powerhouse Trillionloans has appointed Sandeep Singh, a seasoned Aditya Birla Group executive, as its new Chief Executive Officer, signaling a bold new chapter in its growth story.
Backed by over 16 years of rich experience across digital lending, life insurance, and enterprise software, Singh is no stranger to scaling operations and steering businesses toward profitability. At Aditya Birla Finance, he led the digital lending vertical for over six years, where he pioneered innovative lending models and built strong customer-first financial products. Prior to that, he held leadership positions at Aditya Birla Sun Life Insurance, sharpening his expertise in customer engagement and distribution strategy.
With his deep roots in product strategy, P&L ownership, digital partnerships, and channel expansion, Singh brings a robust strategic vision to the table. Speaking on his appointment, he said,
“My focus will be on building scalable, tech-led lending products that address the evolving needs of our customers, while driving sustainable and responsible growth.”
Trillionloans, founded in 2018 by Achal Mittal and Gautam Adukia, offers a diverse portfolio of tech-driven lending solutions, including SME loans, personal finance, vehicle loans, and consumer credit. With trusted partnerships including BharatPe Money, Ninjacart, Gokwik, and OTO Capital, the company is quickly becoming a trusted credit partner for India’s next billion users.
This leadership update also comes with another strategic reshuffle. Sabyasachi Senapati, Executive Director of Trillionloans, will now be leading key growth initiatives at BharatPe Group, strengthening its core platform. He’ll continue to serve as a whole-time director on Trillionloans’ board, ensuring a seamless transition and continuity in vision.
Over the past year, BharatPe has doubled down on Trillionloans, first by acquiring a 51% stake in April 2023, and then further injecting $8–9 million in August 2024 to fuel the NBFC’s expansion. These moves have helped Trillionloans rapidly scale its loan book, delivering efficient, technology-first credit experiences to merchants, SMEs, and individual borrowers across India.
This announcement arrives amidst a broader movement in the Indian fintech landscape, where major players are strengthening their NBFC arms. Just a day earlier, Lendingkart named former DBS MD Prashant Joshi as CEO. Meanwhile, TapFin and Vayana are also deepening their NBFC strategies to meet sector-specific lending needs, and Jio Financial Services recently infused over INR 1,000 Cr into its NBFC arm to accelerate growth.
With Sandeep Singh at the helm, Trillionloans is all set to disrupt India’s lending ecosystem with cutting-edge, customer-centric solutions, furthering its mission to bridge credit gaps and empower a new wave of financial inclusion. Entrepreneur Bulletin
