Rohit Agarwal — CEO
Strategy and investments professional with 12+ years of experience helping large, complex organisations grow — through sharper strategy, better investment decisions, and technology-led transformation. Currently leading Corporate Development & Strategy at The Manipal Group - one of India's large diversified conglomerates — where I serve as a strategic advisor to the Group Chairman. I partner with business leaders to diagnose where growth will come from - mapping market opportunities, identifying adjacencies, and translating strategic choices into execution-ready roadmaps. I've led growth strategies across portfolio businesses and authored the Group's 5–7 year strategic roadmap. I evaluate businesses — understanding their market position, competitive moat, unit economics, and growth potential. I have assessed investment and acquisition opportunities across sectors, advising Group leadership on where and how to deploy capital. Earlier at PwC India, I led commercial due diligence mandates for leading PE funds and corporate acquirers. I lead the Group's first enterprise-wide AI Centre of Excellence — driving adoption from the boardroom to business units. My work spans AI use-case identification, platform selection, vendor ecosystem building, and change management — moving AI from aspiration to measurable execution. I also support businesses through their annual strategic planning cycles — bringing rigour, objectivity, and an outside-in perspective to target-setting and resource allocation. I thrive at the intersection of strategic thinking and hands-on execution — having built the strategy function and the AI transformation agenda from the ground up at The Manipal Group.
