Sahijwani brings over 28 years of experience in private banking and wealth management. He served as Managing Director and CEO of Avendus Wealth Management from May 2024 to September 2026, where he led a rebuild of the business and grew it into one of the fastest-growing private wealth franchises in the country. Prior to this, as Head of Private Banking at Axis Bank, he played a key role in launching and scaling Burgundy Private. Sahijwani began his career at Kotak Securities and went on to hold senior roles at ICICI Bank, HSBC, Citibank, Axis Bank and Kotak Wealth Management.

He has launched, scaled and transformed wealth businesses at some of the country’s leading institutions. Bringing him on board as Co-Founder reflects the scale of our ambition. We are building an independent wealth platform designed to lead the next decade of Indian wealth management, and Apurva’s leadership significantly accelerates that journey.”
