No reasons were disclosed for the change, and there is currently no update on a replacement for the COO role.

Ramganesh Iyer, an experienced professional with over 20 years in the financial services industry, had served as a Partner at Bain & Company, leading major strategy and transformation projects for financial institutions and fintechs. Before his consulting stint, he co-founded two wealth-tech ventures — Fisdom and PARK Financial Advisors.

Despite the leadership update, the stock reacted positively, indicating investor confidence remains intact amid broader market trends and sectoral resilience.
