- Founder Jean-Yves Sireau transitions to Founder role after 25 years of leadership.
CYBERJAYA, Malaysia, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Deriv, a global leader in online trading, has announced a major leadership transition as Rakshit Choudhary assumes the role of Chief Executive Officer, ushering in a new era of innovation and growth. Jean-Yves Sireau, Founder and former co-CEO, will continue to serve as Founder and majority shareholder, stepping back from daily operations to focus on strategic guidance and future ventures.
From Intern to CEO: Choudhary to lead Deriv's next phase
Choudhary's appointment marks the culmination of a 16-year journey within Deriv, having served as Chief Operating Officer and most recently as co-CEO. Throughout his tenure, he has been instrumental in scaling the company to serve over three million clients globally, launching industry-leading products, and championing the company's mission to make trading simple, fair, and accessible for all.

I look forward to building on that legacy — accelerating growth in our core markets, advancing our AI-first strategy, and enhancing the client experience across the board."
The transition comes at a pivotal time for Deriv. Earlier this year, the company initiated a bold move to adopt an AI-first model, with significant investments in infrastructure, technology, and talent. This transformation is aimed at driving scalable growth and delivering a more personalised and efficient trading experience to clients worldwide.
Deriv's AI-First strategy signals a bold new chapter
Reflecting on the transition, Jean-Yves Sireau, who founded Deriv in 1999, commented: "This handover represents a natural and exciting evolution for Deriv. Rakshit has been an integral part of the company's growth for over 16 years and is ideally placed to lead it into its next chapter. As Founder, I remain committed to preserving Deriv's values and mission, while dedicating more time to my next venture — n1.healthcare, an AI-driven health optimisation company. I am confident that under Rakshit's leadership, Deriv will reach even greater heights."

Orphi Voice Assistant: Omni-scenario Interaction Breakthrough
AISpeech introduced its Orphi Voice Assistant, an intelligent in-vehicle interaction system built on its end-to-end voice and speech technology. Orphi provides flexible and customized in-vehicle dialogue system for automakers worldwide, integrating voice processing, recognition, synthesis, language understanding, noise suppression and other functionalities. Key features include full-duplex wake-free interaction, multi-intent understanding within one sentence, and "say what you see" functionality, all of which significantly enhance driving safety and the naturalness of human-machine interaction. Leveraging voiceprint recognition and multi-zone sound source localization, Orphi offers personalized responses for passengers in different seating positions, delivering a seamless and intelligent in-car interaction experience.
Global Mobility Enabled by over 40 Languages
Designed for global deployment, Orphi Voice Assistant supports over 40 languages—including Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, French, German, and others—with deep optimizations for regional accents, linguistic habits, and cultural nuances. This capability is backed by AISpeech's two championships in the Grand Challenge at ICASSP 2023 (2023 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing), a signal processing contest focusing on multi-speaker and multi-lingual speech synthesis. The system further demonstrates its adaptability through region-specific tuning, such as enhanced accent recognition for North America and tailored speech patterns for Europe, enabling seamless interaction across diverse linguistic environments.

The company has collaborated with top international brands like Mercedes-Benz and Audi, while also working closely with leading Chinese automakers such as BYD, SAIC GM Wuling, Great Wall Motor, and IM to help them expand globally.
