IPO-bound edtech unicorn Physics Wallah(PW) has named former Blinkit CFO Amit Sachdeva as its new chief financial officer.

Sachdeva’s appointment comes as the Noida-based edtech firm gears up for its initial public offering (IPO), where he will lead the company’s strategic and financial initiatives.

Under his leadership, PhysicsWallah aims to strengthen its financial oversight and planning, drive sustainable growth, and further its mission of providing quality education, it said in a statement.

“Amit’s experience in financial leadership and his focus on robust corporate governance will be invaluable as we continue our efforts to grow and broaden our educational impact. His approach to finance as a transformative tool aligns with PW’s goals,” remarked Alakh Pandey, Founder and CEO of PhysicsWallah.

With a background in finance, Sachdeva has worked across various industries, including consumer tech and IT/ITeS, and has held leadership roles at organisations such as IGT Solutions, Blinkit, and Wipro prior to joining PW.

Since January 2023, Sachdeva has served as the CFO of IGT Solutions. Prior to that, he was the CFO and Head of Finance at Blinkit (formerly Grofers) for over three years, from July 2019 to August 2022.

“Joining PhysicsWallah is a great opportunity to support an organisation seeking to make education accessible to so many,” said Sachdeva, who is a Chartered Accountant from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and a Certified Public Accountant in the US.
