The high-profile induction comes as the Mirae Asset Venture Investment and Elev8-backed platform accelerates its national expansion, positioning itself at the forefront of a generational shift in India's private wealth ecosystem.

Over 28 Years of Private Banking Mastery

Sahijwani brings more than 28 years of specialized experience in wealth management, family office advisory, and private banking across India’s leading financial institutions:

  • Avendus Wealth Leadership: Served as MD & CEO of Avendus Wealth Management from May 2024 to September 2026, orchestrating a comprehensive business rebuild that established it among the nation's fastest-growing private wealth franchises.
  • Architect of Burgundy Private: As Head of Private Banking at Axis Bank, Sahijwani was instrumental in designing, launching, and scaling Burgundy Private.
  • Institutional Career: Commenced his career at Kotak Securities and held senior management mandates across ICICI Bank, HSBC, Citibank, and Kotak Wealth Management.

Welcoming him to the leadership team, Anirudha Taparia, Founder & CEO of Nexedge Capital, stated: "Apurva has launched, scaled, and transformed wealth businesses at some of the country’s leading institutions. Bringing him on board as co-founder reflects the scale of our ambition."

Capturing the Shift to Independent Multi-Family Offices

Speaking on his transition to an entrepreneurial platform, Sahijwani pointed to structural changes in domestic wealth creation:

"India’s wealth management industry is at an inflection point. A new generation of entrepreneurs, business owners, and wealthy families is demanding more independence, more sophistication, and a partner truly aligned with their long-term interests," Sahijwani noted. "The next phase of growth belongs to independent platforms that combine institutional-grade expertise with entrepreneurial speed."
