Dhanesh Chandrashekhar Arole

Equiti Group has appointed Dhanesh Arole as Head of Data and AI to support its global technology and innovation strategy. The appointment comes as the fintech company focuses on expanding its data analytics and artificial intelligence capabilities.

The plan aims to enhance client experiences and deliver smarter trading solutions amid accelerating digital adoption in the MENA region. Arole brings experience from major global technology platforms, including Meta, and from high-growth startups.

Experience from Major Global Tech Firms

According to Arole, the role involves leading the creation of a new AI team dedicated to developing advanced AI-driven solutions for trading, risk management, and various investment products, while also overseeing data engineering and analytics teams to upgrade data infrastructure, improve data accessibility, and strengthen the quality of insights.

“Dhanesh joins us to accelerate the creation of data products and AI applications across our ecosystem, pushing us toward a truly intelligent, insight-driven platform,” commented Sartaj Singh, the Chief Technology Officer of Equiti Group.

Arole joins Equiti with a track record that spans both high-growth startups and established tech giants such as Meta. His experience in system design, software architecture, and engineering management positions him to build scalable data solutions aligned with Equiti’s global ambitions.

Bringing Global Experience to Regional Growth

"Data and AI are redefining the speed, transparency and intelligence of global financial markets" said Arole. "At Equiti, we're committed to turning advanced analytics into real-world trading advantages for our clients. I'm excited to help build a next-generation data ecosystem that powers smarter decisions, deeper insights and truly transformative products."

In August, Equiti Group announced three senior leadership promotions as the multi-asset broker continues to expand its global footprint and strengthen its technology capabilities.

Among the promotions, Sartaj Singh was appointed Chief Technology Officer after leading the firm’s technology division for over a year. Singh joined Equiti in December 2023 as Global Head of Technology and oversaw a major overhaul of its trading platforms and infrastructure systems.
