Univest announced the appointment of three senior leaders as it strengthens its leadership bench and accelerates expansion across its advisory-first broking and wealth-tech platform.
The company has appointed Girraj Prasad Garg, former Executive Director at the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), as Non-Executive Director; Sachin Gupta, former senior leader at Lenskart and AstroTalk, as Chief Marketing Officer; Gagan Singla, former Managing Director at BlinkX and senior leader at HDFC Securities and Angel Broking, as CEO – Broking Business; and Aman Bindal, former CTO at Creditas, as Chief AI and Technology Officer.
The leadership expansion comes as Univest continues to deliver strong momentum, recording over 150% year-on-year growth, even as segments of the broader broking industry face moderation due to regulatory changes and evolving market conditions. Backed by Bertelsmann India Investments (BII), Univest is targeting 200%+ growth by FY 2026–27, driven by disciplined execution, expanding product offerings and a sharp focus on investor trust.
As part of its growth strategy, Univest has recently launched its Mutual Fund business, introducing a research-first, goal-linked Mutual Fund advisory model. The offering maps investor goals with high-performing Mutual Funds and keeps portfolios aligned through continuous monitoring. Powered by a Human + AI research framework, Univest provides Regular Mutual Fund plans for long-term investors, along with UniClub (Pro MF)—a premium solution offering analyst-built, actively reviewed and rebalanced portfolios for serious investors.
With the expansion into Mutual Funds and strengthened leadership across key functions, Univest is consolidating its position as a one-stop Wealth Operating System, uniting advisory, broking and Mutual Funds within a single, research-driven ecosystem designed to deliver consistent, goal-oriented investment outcomes.
Pranit Arora, Co-Founder and CEO, Univest, said, “These leadership appointments strengthen Univest across governance, growth and broking execution at a critical stage of our journey. With our expansion into Mutual Funds and a continued focus on research-led advisory, we are building a platform that helps investors stay disciplined and focused on long-term wealth creation.”
