2025 Year in Review | Who’s in, who’s out: the biggest executive moves in India’s tech & startup sector
For India’s startup and tech sector, 2025 was a year of continued top-level churn. Companies across ecommerce, fintech and marketplaces saw leadership changes as part of business restructuring and a broader push for growth amid a buoyant public market environment for new-age companies, data shared by executive search firm Longhouse Consulting shows.
Among the prominent appointments this year was former Google Pay vice president Ambarish Kenghe’s elevation as group chief executive at stockbroking firm Angel One, which is pushing deeper into wealthtech and digital investing.

As a result, we will find founders bringing in professional CEOs much a little bit early in the game,” Das said.
