IIFL Home Finance has announced key leadership changes, signaling a phase of organizational strengthening and succession planning at the housing finance company. The firm has elevated Ajay Sachdewa to Group Chief Business Officer and appointed Aarti Marwaha Upadhyay as Chief Human Resources Officer, moves that align with its strategy to build a robust senior management bench.

Sachdewa, who has been associated with IIFL Home Finance in senior leadership roles, will now oversee business strategy, distribution, and customer engagement at a group level. His expanded responsibilities are aimed at driving growth across product lines and ensuring deeper market penetration. With extensive experience in housing finance and retail lending, Sachdewa is expected to play a crucial role in shaping the company’s next phase of expansion.

Meanwhile, Aarti Marwaha Upadhyay takes over as Chief Human Resources Officer, bringing with her a strong background in talent management and organizational development. She will be responsible for strengthening people practices, fostering leadership capabilities, and supporting the company’s growth vision through a future-ready workforce.

The leadership revamp also comes amid growing indications that seasoned banking professional Girish Kousgi may step into the top executive role. Kousgi, known for his previous tenure as Managing Director and CEO at Can Fin Homes, has been closely associated with the housing finance sector and is widely respected for his strategic acumen. His possible appointment is seen as a step toward enhancing governance and operational leadership at IIFL Home Finance.

These developments highlight the company’s focus on reinforcing leadership at a time when India’s housing finance market is witnessing robust demand, particularly in the affordable segment. With a strengthened senior team and the potential addition of Kousgi at the helm, IIFL Home Finance is positioning itself to capture growth opportunities more effectively.
