Fintech company BharatPe has named Ajit Kumar as its new Chief Technology Officer (CTO), with his appointment set to take effect from October 23, 2025.
 
Before joining BharatPe, Kumar spent close to nine years at Paytm, where he came on board in 2017 as a general manager and went on to hold key technology roles.
 
He will step into the role following the departure of Pankaj Goel, who resigned from the position in May this year.
