Ajinkya Jain has been appointed as Group General Counsel, Company Secretary, Compliance Officer and Investor Relations Officer at PhysicsWallah.
He brings over 14 years of experience in corporate law, governance, capital markets, IPO execution, restructuring and strategic regulatory leadership.
He previously worked at PharmEasy (API Group), Future Generali, Pantomath Group, handling acquisitions, restructurings and high-stakes corporate transactions.
He led governance and regulatory strategy at AceVector Group (Snapdeal) and Unicommerce eSolutions, including IPO readiness.
At PhysicsWallah, he will steer the company's IPO journey — DRHP preparation, due diligence, exchange interactions, disclosures and listing execution.
He holds a Bachelor's in Law, a Master's in Commerce, and is a member of the Institute of Company Secretaries of India.

Jain views law as a strategic enabler that creates clarity, accountability and stability for sustainable growth.
He notes that India's regulatory environment has strengthened with digital-first compliance, investor-friendly reforms and a higher bar for startups.
He says government policies like Startup India, Digital India and capital market reforms have shifted from short-term benefits to long-term institution building.
New regulatory changes include data privacy, ESG disclosures, cybersecurity, financial reporting, investor communication and capital market reforms.
He advises early-stage startups to invest early in legal structures and compliance to build stronger foundations for scaling.

PhysicsWallah is an edtech platform that provides online and offline courses for competitive exams like JEE, NEET, UPSC and others.
It offers live classes, recorded lectures, test series and study materials through its app and website.
The company generates revenue from course fees and has expanded to physical study centres across India.
PhysicsWallah has grown rapidly and is preparing for an initial public offering (IPO).

Jain will lead PhysicsWallah's IPO preparation, including DRHP drafting, due diligence and exchange interactions.
He will oversee the company's legal, compliance, company secretarial and investor relations functions.
