Pranay Ghadge has taken on a new role as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at APAC Financial Services Private Limited. Ghadge announced the development through a LinkedIn post, marking his latest move into a senior information security leadership position within the financial services sector.
In his new role, Ghadge will take responsibility for the organisation’s information security function as CISO. The appointment places him in a leadership position focused on cybersecurity and information security at APAC Financial Services.
Ghadge shared the development on September 21, announcing that he was starting his new position at APAC Financial Services Private Limited. His announcement did not disclose specific details about his mandate, reporting structure or the cybersecurity initiatives he will lead at the company.
The move comes as financial services companies continue to place greater emphasis on information security, data protection and cyber resilience as their operations become increasingly technology-driven. Financial institutions manage sensitive customer and financial information across digital platforms, making cybersecurity an important part of technology and risk management.
Ghadge has also maintained a professional presence within the cybersecurity community. His public LinkedIn activity includes engagement with discussions and recognition related to cybersecurity leadership in the banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) sector. In a recent interaction, he congratulated Sumeet Mishra of Suryoday Small Finance Bank on being featured in the BFSI Cybersecurity 100 for 2026.
However, publicly available sources reviewed for this report do not provide enough independently verified information about Ghadge’s previous organisations, educational background or specific cybersecurity projects to include those details without risking inaccuracies.
APAC Financial Services Private Limited operates in the financial services sector, making information security a relevant function for protecting business systems, customer information and technology infrastructure. Ghadge’s appointment adds a dedicated CISO-level leadership role to the company’s technology and security framework.
The appointment also adds to the growing number of senior cybersecurity leadership moves across India’s financial services ecosystem. As financial organisations expand digital services and technology infrastructure, CISO roles increasingly cover areas such as cyber risk, information security governance, data protection, regulatory compliance and resilience.
Ghadge’s LinkedIn announcement did not disclose further details about his immediate priorities or any specific technology, security or transformation programmes associated with his new position. Those details may become clearer as he begins his tenure at APAC Financial Services.
With his move to APAC Financial Services as CISO, Ghadge will now lead the organisation’s information security function, taking on responsibility for an area that remains central to the security and resilience of modern financial services operations.
