“Ritesh has been an early religionist and loyal supporter of the company and was veritably necessary in our early UPI success story,” says Sameer Nigam, CEO and author of PhonePe, adding that Pai will lead the company’s transnational expansion plans in his new role.
Pai commented on his new job, stating that PhonePe” has achieved request leadership in India” due to” product invention and structure client-centric results.”
