London Mayor Sadiq Khan has appointed India-born Rajesh Agrawal as the deputy mayor for business.
Khan yesterday tasked Agrawal with championing London's interests following the exit of Britain after the EU referendum, and protecting jobs and growth while the negotiation process for exit takes place.
Agrawal was Khan's business adviser during his mayoral campaign.
Born and brought up in Indore, India, Agrawal arrived in London in 2001 and became a fintech entrepreneur and innovator. He is the founder and CEO of Xendpay, an international money transfer service, and RationalFX, an online foreign exchange service - both of which have grown into globally successful businesses.
