These appointments further reinforce our commitment to setting high standards in corporate governance," Bansal said.

The tech company is heading towards their IPO at the moment. It filed a Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) on March 12. Navi plans to raise INR 3,350 crore through the IPO through a fresh issue of shares.
