The first Peshwa was Moropant Trimbak Pingle.
A Peshwa played the role of the Prime Minister in the Maratha Empire founded by Shivaji. Moropant Trimbak Pingle was made the Peshwa by the emperor after his coronation in 1674.
Pingle was additionally given the post of the head of Ashta Pradhan or a council of eight ministers by the emperor.
Moropant Trimbak Pingle played a key role in the successful battle that Shivaji fought against Adil Shah of Bijapur and his forces in 1659.
