Sanjeev Bikhchandani, Founder Info Edge,

Info Edge (India) Ltd, the owner of Naukri.com on Wednesday said it was reshaping its leadership, with founder Sanjeev Bikhchandani set to return to an executive role as Managing Director and group Chief Executive Officer after Hitesh Oberoi steps down after 16 years of holding the position.

“The Board has approved the appointment of. Sanjeev Bikhchandani, Founder and Vice Chairman of Info Edge, as Executive Vice Chairman, Managing Director and Group Chief Executive Officer, with effect from December 3, 2026, subject to shareholders’ approval,” the company said.

Over the last 27 years, Oberoi has played a central role in building the company into one of India’s leading consumer internet businesses, it said adding that during his tenure as MD and CEO, Naukri.com strengthened its position as India’s leading online recruitment platform while Info Edge built and scaled businesses including 99acres, Jeevansathi, Shiksha and Jobhai and invested its surplus cash in India’s startup ecosystem.

Bikhchandani’s appointment is scheduled to run until April 26, 2031, in line with his existing shareholder-approved term, the company said.

The transition places the founder back at the centre of executive leadership as Info Edge looks to build on its established internet businesses, expand newer platforms and continue investing in India’s startup ecosystem.

“After nearly 27 years at Info Edge, I feel this is the right time for me to begin transitioning out of my full time operating role. It has not been an easy decision. Info Edge has been a defining part of my life, and I feel enormous gratitude and pride when I look back at what we have built together,” Oberoi said.
