In November last year, Perfios had hired Sumit Nigam, a former VP & Head of Engineering at BigBasket as Chief Technology Officer and Anu Mathew as Chief People Officer who had previously held the same role at payments tech company, PineLabs.
As a part of the top level rejig, Co-founder Debashish Chakraborty, who was the CTO, before Nigam took over, transitioned to a more strategic role within the organization.
The Bengaluru-based unicorn had also raised $80 million in a Series D1 funding round led by Teachers' Venture Growth (TVG), the venture and growth investment arm of the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan.
The proceeds from this funding round will be used by Perfios to fuel its international expansion into Southeast Asia and the Middle East and Africa regions. Additionally, a portion of the funds will be allocated for strategic acquisitions and inorganic growth opportunities, the company had said in a statement.
