    LatentView adds power minds to its AI think tank

    MUMBAI: When it comes to sharpening its data game, LatentView Analytics isn’t just adding numbers, it’s adding names that count. The AI-driven analytics and consulting firm has welcomed Vandana Rana and Divesh Singla to its Advisory Council, signalling a bold move to strengthen its leadership in AI and digital transformation.

    Divesh Singla, a veteran with over two decades in analytics and life sciences, has helmed leadership roles at Signant Health, IQVIA, Eli Lilly, and Parexel. Known for building world-class Global Capability Centres (GCCs), he’s also among India’s top 100 AI & analytics leaders.

    Meanwhile, Vandana Rana, an AI and data science trailblazer, brings global experience from Walmart Global Tech, Microsoft, and T-Mobile. A champion of responsible AI, she’s known for building scalable, high-impact data systems that turn innovation into real-world value.

    Commenting on the appointments, LatentView Analytics CEO Rajan Sethuraman said, “Enterprises today are clear about their AI priorities. To deliver measurable impact, we must stay ahead. Strengthening our Advisory Council with industry experts enhances our ability to help clients make confident, data-driven decisions.”

    Both new members expressed excitement about shaping LatentView’s vision. Singla highlighted India’s 100-billion dollars GCC opportunity, while Rana pointed out the need to operationalise AI effectively, turning experimentation into enterprise success.

    With these appointments, LatentView’s Advisory Council grows stronger as a think tank of innovators, guiding the company’s next phase of AI-driven growth, global partnerships, and purpose-led digital transformation.

    Anuj Sahai exits Peak XV, sets sights on fresh ventures in AI and startups

    BENGALURU: After a two-year stint as chief product officer at Peak XV Partners (formerly Sequoia India & SEA), Anuj Sahai is charting a new course. Sahai, who announced his exit this week, said the role offered him a ringside view of the startup ecosystem and hands-on experience with artificial intelligence.

    Sahai, who has held senior posts at Walmart Global Tech, Ola, Flipkart, Payback and Yahoo!, is now advising early-stage founders on tech stacks, workflows and agentic AI. “I’ll be recharging and reflecting over the next few months while exploring new opportunities,” he said, inviting connections from entrepreneurs and investors alike.

    Over a two-decade career, Sahai has built a track record of scaling digital businesses: he led Walmart’s US marketplace product team to a significant share of e-commerce revenues, launched Flipkart’s advertising platform into India’s No 2 ad business within 15 months, and forged landmark partnerships for Ola Play.

    For now, the industry will be watching which venture the product veteran picks as his next big play.

  • Fintech powerhouse Angel One snaps up Walmart tech guru in C-suite shuffle

    Fintech powerhouse Angel One snaps up Walmart tech guru in C-suite shuffle

    MUMBAI: Angel One Ltd has poached tech heavyweight Rohit Chatter as its new chief data officer, while bidding farewell to outgoing data chief Deepak Chandani.

    Chatter, fresh from his gig as chief software architect at Walmart Global Tech, will take the reins with immediate effect, as Chandani prepares to clear his desk by April  end.

    The well-timed appointment sees Angel One doubling down on its AI ambitions, with chairman Dinesh Thakkar making no bones about the company’s lofty aspirations. 

    “We’re not just embracing the future of finTech—we’re building it,” he declared with characteristic swagger. “Data is the foundation of this revolution and Rohit’s unparalleled expertise in AI, cloud platforms and data science will be a game-changer in redefining digital investing. With his leadership, we will push the boundaries of innovation, deliver hyper-personalized experiences and empower millions with smarter financial solutions.”

    Chatter brings nearly three decades of tech wizardry to the table, having cut his teeth at Silicon Valley giants and masterminded large-scale data operations. At Walmart, he was the brains behind their generative AI revolution, while his stint as CTO at InMobi saw him transform their remarketing platform into a cash cow across major markets.

    The data boffin’s CV also boasts impressive turns at Yahoo India, where he spearheaded big data initiatives, and various leadership roles at Talisma, IPSoft, TiVo and Alcatel in the US. His tech toolkit includes everything from Oracle databases to Unix systems, alongside programming chops in Perl, Python and Java.

    Chatter, who holds a BE in electronics & telecom and an MBA from NMIMS, seems positively gung-ho about his new role. 

    “Angel One is revolutionizing the financial services industry with its AI-first approach and I am excited to be part of this dynamic team. AI and data science are shaping the future of investing and my focus will be on enhancing Angel One’s platforms with automation, predictive analytics and intelligent insights that empower investors across India. The potential to innovate and scale AI-led financial solutions at Angel One is immense and I look forward to thisjourney,” he enthused, barely containing his excitement at the prospect of unleashing predictive analytics upon India’s investing masses.

    For the uninitiated, Angel One stands tall as India’s largest listed retail stock broking house by active NSE clients. The tech-savvy outfit serves over 30 million investors through its digital platforms, including the Angel One Mobile App, the rather clever ‘ARQ Prime’ recommendation engine, and the ‘Smart Money’ educational platform designed to turn investing novices into market maestros.
