Billdesk co-founder MN Srinivasu has been elected the new chairman of the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) for 2025–27, replacing Dream Sports co-founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Harsh Jain. Meanwhile, Razorpay CEO and co-founder Harshil Mathur and PhonePe founder and CEO Sameer Nigam have been elected the vice chairman and treasurer. They replace Rajesh Magow of MakeMyTrip and Times Internet vice chairman Satyan Gajwani, respectively. The new 24-member governing council and the new executive council of IAMAI will take charge at the upcoming annual general meeting. The 2023 IAMAI governing council election was marred by controversy, with the trade body accused of "parroting" the views of its so-called Big Tech members. In April 2023, IAMAI argued against the need for a separate digital competition framework aimed at regulating "anti-competitive practices" by Big Tech companies. Indian entrepreneurs slammed IAMAI, saying a digital competition law was necessary and insinuated that the industry body's stance was a reflection of the composition of its leadership.
