Mumbai: In a strategic move to strengthen its leadership and governance framework, Delhivery has announced Yashish Dahiya, Chairman & CEO of PB Fintech, and Dr. Padmini Srinivasan, Professor at IIM Bangalore, as Non-Executive Independent Directors on its Board.
The appointments are part of Delhivery’s planned Board rejuvenation, aimed at enhancing board diversity and aligning with the company’s long-term growth strategy.
Yashish Dahiya, a pioneering figure in India’s digital insurance ecosystem, co-founded Policybazaar.com in 2008 and scaled it into a leading consumer internet brand with over $2 billion in annual premiums. His earlier stints include Managing Director at ebookers.com and a consultant role at Bain & Co., London. An alumnus of IIT Delhi, IIM Ahmedabad, and INSEAD, Yashish brings rich entrepreneurial, digital, and operational experience to the Delhivery board.
Dr. Padmini Srinivasan, a PhD holder and senior faculty at IIM Bangalore, is a distinguished expert in financial reporting, corporate governance, and ethics. She currently serves as Chairperson of the Centre for Corporate Governance and Sustainability and Executive Education at IIM Bangalore. Dr. Srinivasan is also a Public Interest Director on the Board of BSE Ltd. and a fellow member of ICAI and ICSI, with extensive contributions to global accounting and governance bodies.
Commenting on the appointments, Sahil Barua, Managing Director & CEO, Delhivery, said, “We are delighted to welcome Dr. Padmini and Yashish to the Delhivery board. Dr. Srinivasan’s academic and research background in corporate governance and financial reporting will continue to hold us to the highest standards of governance. Yashish’s background in building a market leading consumer internet business will provide the Delhivery management team with a founder’s perspective on strategy and operations, similar to what our two other recent new board members Sameer and Namita bring to the board.”
The company also announced the planned transition of long-serving board members over the next four quarters. As part of this process, Srivatsan Rajan, who has served on the Delhivery Board since July 2015, will step down effective 30th September 2025.
“Sri has been instrumental in instilling a strong sense of governance and control since the earliest days of Delhivery. On behalf of the entire Delhivery Board of Directors and team, we are deeply grateful to him for his counsel, encouragement and support over the last 10 years,” added Sahil Barua.
With these changes, Delhivery continues to fortify its board with expertise across corporate governance, entrepreneurship, and digital transformation, reinforcing its vision of building India’s most trusted and future-ready logistics platform.
