Nehul Malhotra — CEO
Executive Summary (Written through AI) Nehul Malhotra is a dynamic CEO, business and product leader with over 13 years of experience architecting and scaling market-defining fintech and consumer technology platforms in India. A Gold Medallist from IIM Ahmedabad and former McKinsey consultant, he combines strategic insight, operational depth, and product innovation with full P&L ownership across hyper-growth environments. As Co-Founder & CEO of GenWise, he has built India’s largest age-tech platform addressing elder loneliness—scaling to 400K+ MAUs, 50K+ paid users, and 3M+ installs at industry-leading efficiency. The company raised a record $3.5M seed round and was selected for the Google for Startups Accelerator 2025. Under his leadership, GenWise institutionalized an AI-first culture and launched category-defining products such as Saathi AI (emotional companion for elders) and GenWise UPI (India’s only UPI for seniors), demonstrating his ability to identify greenfield opportunities and build product ecosystems from the ground up. Earlier, as Consumer Lending Head at BharatPe, Nehul launched and scaled postpe—one of India’s fastest-growing credit products—to ₹1500 Cr monthly TPV and ₹200 Cr ARR within 18 months, while designing an integrated 3-in-1 credit line that combined card, loan, and QR-based payments. At Paytm, where he reported directly to the founder, Nehul led some of the company’s most critical consumer and merchant product initiatives during its 100x growth phase. He built the KYC and customer experience infrastructure from scratch—scaling Paytm’s verified base to over 100 million users, digitizing merchant onboarding through paperless and biometric systems, and implementing end-to-end workflow automation via Salesforce and Genesys Cloud. His leadership spanned large-scale operations, with over 1,600 agents across three channels, and deep product execution integrating technology, compliance, and customer experience at scale. Blending entrepreneurial instinct with structured problem-solving and organizational design expertise gained at McKinsey & Company and Russell Reynolds Associates, Nehul brings a rare balance of product vision, operational mastery, and leadership maturity. His focus remains on building purposeful, technology-led businesses that deliver both consumer impact and enduring enterprise value.
