Univest Elevates Leadership Team and Expands Product Offerings to Drive Future Growth

New Delhi, India, Jan 7: Univest today announced a series of senior leadership appointments as it deepens its leadership bench and accelerates expansion across its advisory-first broking and wealth-tech platform.

The company has appointed Girraj Prasad Garg, former Executive Director at the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), as Non-Executive Director. In addition, Univest has strengthened its executive team with the appointment of Sachin Gupta, former senior leader at Lenskart and AstroTalk, as Chief Marketing Officer; Gagan Singla, former Managing Director at BlinkX and senior leader at HDFC Securities and Angel Broking, as CEO – Broking Business; and Aman Bindal, former CTO at Creditas, as Chief AI and Technology Officer.

These appointments significantly enhance Univest’s capabilities across governance and regulatory oversight, brand building and growth, and end-to-end broking execution. The expanded leadership team strengthens expertise across product development, technology, analytics-driven growth, and P&L ownership as the company enters its next phase of scale.

The leadership expansion follows a period of strong momentum for Univest, which has recorded over 150% year-on-year growth, even as parts of the broader broking industry face moderation due to regulatory changes and evolving market conditions. Backed by Bertelsmann India Investments (BII), Univest is targeting 200%+ growth by FY 2026–27, driven by disciplined execution, an expanding product portfolio, and a sharp focus on investor trust.

As part of its growth strategy, Univest has recently launched its Mutual Fund business, introducing a research-first, goal-linked Mutual Fund advisory model. The offering maps investor goals to high-performing Mutual Funds and ensures portfolios remain aligned through continuous monitoring. Powered by a Human + AI research framework, Univest offers Regular Mutual Fund plans for long-term investors, alongside UniClub (Pro MF)—a premium solution featuring analyst-built portfolios that are actively reviewed and rebalanced for serious investors.

With its expanded leadership team and entry into Mutual Funds, Univest is consolidating its position as a one-stop Wealth Operating System, integrating advisory, broking, and Mutual Funds into a single, research-driven ecosystem designed to deliver consistent, goal-oriented investment outcomes.

Commenting on the appointments, Pranit Arora, Co-Founder and CEO, Univest, said:

“These leadership appointments strengthen Univest across governance, growth, and broking execution at a critical stage of our journey. With our expansion into Mutual Funds and a continued focus on research-led advisory, we are building a platform that helps investors stay disciplined and focused on long-term wealth creation.”
