Sachin Bansal quits as CEO of Navi; new chiefs appointed for Navi Tech and Finserv The move follows RBI's recent lifting of restrictions on Navi Finserv, allowing it to resume lending. In October, the RBI had directed Navi Finserv and three other NBFCs to cease loan approvals, citing deficiencies in adherence to regulatory guidelines. Navi has announced the appointment of Rajiv Naresh as the new CEO of Navi Technologies Limited and Abhishek Dwivedi as the new CEO of Navi Finserv Limited. Sachin Bansal, the existing CEO of both companies, will transition to the role of Executive Chairman of the Navi Group while continuing to oversee the group's strategic direction. Both Rajiv Naresh and Abhishek Dwivedi have been part of Navi's early founding team and have held various leadership roles within the organization over the past six years. "This restructuring is a strategic milestone that enables us to sharpen our focus on long-term growth. Both Rajiv and Abhishek have played key roles in our growth, and I am confident that we will continue on this upward trajectory as they assume their new roles," said Bansal. According to the press release, Bansal will focus on Navi’s long-term strategy, expansion, fundraising, mergers and acquisitions, and improving compliance and risk management. He will also support Navi’s tech growth through innovation in technology and data science while guiding Rajiv and Abhishek in managing their businesses. After the changes, Abhishek will lead lending businesses, while Rajiv will handle non-lending businesses at Navi Group. Navi’s revenue from operations rose to Rs 1,906 crore in FY24 from Rs 1,238 crore in FY23, as per its standalone financial statements. The company’s net profits stood at Rs 668 crore, largely driven by gains from the sale of its subsidiary.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has lifted the restrictions previously placed on Navi Finserv, enabling the non-banking financial company (NBFC) to resume loan sanctions and disbursals. The restrictions were imposed due to concerns over regulatory compliance and pricing policies. The RBI’s decision indicates that Navi Finserv has addressed these issues promptly. In October, the RBI had directed Navi Finserv and three other NBFCs to cease loan approvals, citing deficiencies in adherence to regulatory guidelines. “..Satisfied with these measures and the company’s commitment to ongoing regulatory compliance, the RBI has now lifted the restrictions with immediate effect. This decision highlights the importance of adherence to regulatory standards in the financial sector,” said RBI in a statement. The other three NBFCs affected by the RBI’s directive were DMI Finance, Asirvad Micro Finance and Arohan Financial Services. However, the apex banking body has yet to allow the three NBFCs to disburse loans. Founded in 2018 by Bansal and Ankit Agarwal, Navi Finserv operates as an RBI-registered NBFC in the middle layer category, offering personal and home loans. Recently, Navi closed a $24.5 million loan securitization transaction with Goldman Sachs (India) Finance Private Limited. The company’s revenue from operations rose to Rs 1,906 crore in FY24 from Rs 1,238 crore in FY23, as per its standalone financial statements. The company’s net profits stood at Rs 668 crore, largely driven by gains from the sale of its subsidiary. Notably, the company has emerged as one of the fastest growing players in the UPI ecosystem. In October, it surpassed CRED to become the fourth-largest player in UPI by volume.
