Client Details:
is a modern jewellery brand being built for today’s India —
design-led, technology-backed, and deeply human at heart. We work with
lab-grown diamonds, celebrity creators, and a strong D2C engine to
create jewellery that feels aspirational yet accessible.
This is not a traditional jewellery business. And this is not a
traditional CFO role.
Role overview:
Job Titel: Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
Experience: 14-18 years
Location: Bandra, Mumbai
Why This Role Matters
the CFO is not a back-office function. You are a thinking
partner to the founder, a steady hand during uncertainty, and a sharp
mind during growth.
We are looking for someone who understands numbers, but more importantly
understands people, pressure, ambition, and the reality of building
something from zero.
What You Will Really Do
- Work closely with the founder to turn vision into financially sound
decisions
- Build Ektra’s financial foundation from scratch — clean, simple,
scalable
- Own cash flow with discipline in a capital-intensive jewellery
business
- Understand jewellery economics deeply: gold, diamonds, making,
wastage, inventory turns
- Create clear unit economics and SKU-level profitability
- Prepare the company for fundraising — models, decks, due diligence,
investor conversations
- Be investor-ready at all times, even when we are still figuring
things out
- Ensure compliance, audits, GST, tax, and governance are tight and
future-proof
- Build systems and MIS that help decisions, not just reports
- Grow and mentor a finance team as the brand scales
Who You Are
You are someone who has seen growth — and stress — up close. You are
comfortable in ambiguity and don’t need perfect information to make good
decisions.
You don’t hide behind spreadsheets. You step into conversations.
- 10–18 years of experience in consumer, retail, D2C, jewellery, or
inventory-led businesses
- Strong grasp of working capital and cash flow realities
- Experience with fundraising or investor interactions
- Startup or growth-stage mindset — hands-on, practical, involved
- High integrity and calm temperament
- Thinks like an owner, not an employee
