Bajaj Housing Finance Limited has unveiled a leadership reshuffle, effective 1 April 2026, as part of its ongoing senior-management evolution. The board approved key changes across legal, operations, risk and risk oversight, underscoring the company’s emphasis on strengthening governance and operational discipline. At the helm of the legal function, Hari Dasan EVK has been named Senior Head – Legal, marking a deliberate step to fortify the company’s legal strategy and regulatory governance. Dasan brings an extensive track record from within the Bajaj Finserv ecosystem, including prior leadership roles at Bajaj Finance Limited, which the company notes as part of his broad financial-services pedigree.
Concurrently, the board approved Amit Maheshwari as Chief – Operations & Services, a role steeped in process governance, customer service and controllership. Maheshwari, who joined BHFL in 2025, brings nearly three decades of cross-sector experience across the Bajaj Finserv Group and other major banks, positioning BHFL to sharpen its service standards and operational efficiency.
The announcements also include a mobility and continuity story on the risk front. Amit Sinha, Executive Vice President – Home Loans, ceases to be SMP due to an intra-group move to Bajaj Finance Limited, with his resignation formalized in a letter dated 17 March 2026 and effective at close of business on 31 March 2026. Niraj Adiani, who previously held the Chief Risk Officer (CRO) role, moves to a different business function within the company yet remains an SMP. In a separate risk leadership update, Gagandeep Malhotra has been appointed CRO for a period of five consecutive years, while continuing as an SMP, underscoring BHFL’s sustained focus on risk governance as its scale and complexity grow.
Taken together, the changes reflect a deliberate internal recalibration aimed at aligning senior leadership with BHFL’s growth priorities, risk discipline and customer-centric operations. With a renewed legal leadership, a strengthened operations mandate and a refreshed CRO framework, the company signals its intent to navigate an evolving lending landscape with tightened governance and sharper execution.
