PhonePe has appointed former Standard Chartered India and South Asia CEO Zarin Daruwala to its board of directors as part of its governance and leadership focus ahead of an IPO.
Daruwala, with over three decades of banking experience, joined PhonePe following her tenure at Standard Chartered and ICICI Bank.
PhonePe has taken formal steps towards its IPO readiness including a shareholder resolution in April approving a name change and designating key personnel.
The move to onboard Daruwala reflects PhonePe's strategy to strengthen financial and governance expertise as it transitions to a public company from a private unicorn.
