Adhiraj Singh has joined People Interactive (I) Pvt. Ltd., the company that operates Shaadi.com, as its General Counsel. He moves from MakeMyTrip, where he served as Associate General Counsel, and brings over 16 years of in-house legal experience. Singh, a 2010 alumnus of the National Law School of India University, previously spent nearly a decade at Bharti Airtel. At Shaadi.com, he will lead the legal function, overseeing compliance, risk, and corporate legal strategy. Founder and CEO Anupam Mittal welcomed Singh, saying his experience will be a valuable addition as the company continues to scale. Singh said he looks forward to helping execute Mittal's vision for the brand.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

This is a routine senior hire, but it highlights the growing regulatory and compliance demands on Indian consumer internet platforms. Companies such as Shaadi.com, which handle sensitive user data, face increasing scrutiny under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act and other rules. Singh's experience at Airtel, a telecom giant with deep regulatory exposure, and at MakeMyTrip, a travel platform, equips him to navigate these overlapping frameworks. The appointment signals that People Group is preparing for tighter compliance ahead. The next signal to watch is whether the company discloses any new data protection or compliance initiatives in the coming quarters.
