Nikhileshwar Singh has joined SBS, a leading global financial technology company, as the India Site Director, marking a significant shift in his professional journey from HR leadership to a business-focused role. With this move, Nikhileshwar will take charge of leading teams that drive innovation and product led growth from SBS’s India centre, which plays a critical role in the company’s global operations.
Nikhileshwar brings with him over two decades of experience across top global firms including Accenture, British Telecom, AECOM, NatWest Group, and most recently, FIS Global, where he led HR for 20,000 employees across India and the Philippines. Known for his ability to scale global capability centres and lead high-performing teams, he now steps into a broader leadership position that blends people-first thinking with business execution.
At SBS, Nikhileshwar is expected to work closely with global and regional teams to strengthen the India centre’s strategic impact. His cross-industry exposure in technology, fintech, engineering, and banking operations uniquely positions him to lead the India hub through its next growth phase. SBS’s mission to help financial institutions navigate digital transformation aligns closely with Nikhileshwar belief in building purpose-driven, agile teams.
An alumnus of XLRI Jamshedpur, Nikhileshwar started his career with Accenture and went on to serve in senior HR roles at Deutsche Bank, BT, AECOM, and NatWest Group. His transition from a people leader to a business leader at SBS reflects not just the company’s confidence in his leadership, but also its commitment to investing in talent capable of steering transformation.
