Sumit Nigam has been appointed as Chief Technology Officer (CTO), while Anu Mathew joins as Chief People Officer (CPO). The appointments are part of Perfios’ strategic preparation for an IPO listing over the next 18-24 months, along with their plans for global expansion.
Sumit Nigam, who assumed the role of CTO in July, brings over two decades of valuable experience in technology leadership to Perfios.

Perfios has been at the forefront of numerous innovations in the Fintech space, and there are vast opportunities for bringing in the next set of disruptions that can empower our customers in different ways. As we continue to expand and strengthen our global footprint, technology will play a leading role in shaping the future, and I am happy to steer the cutting-edge tech that Perfios is so known for,” commented Sumit Nigam.
Anu Mathew’s career spans over two decades, marked by her successful scaling of startups and tenure with global organizations. Having lived and worked in both India and England, Anu brings extensive experience in building global teams and collaborating with founders and leaders to create high-growth, sustainable organizations with a positive team culture. Anu has also played the role of a coach where she supports leaders in overcoming challenges to enhance their impact and expedite success. Her rich and diverse background, including roles at Pine Labs, QwikCilver, HCL, and GE, provided her with a holistic perspective and a unique approach to organization-building.
“I am very excited to join Perfios as we step into the next phase of growth. Perfios has a rich culture of collaboration and innovation that creates an environment where our people enjoy work. I look forward to building the talent strategy to fuel business growth.
