- Exposure to growth-stage or investor-backed companies is an advantage
- CA / MBA (Finance) preferred, but not mandatory for the right candidate
Key Requirement
We are looking for a business-oriented CFO who can act as a true partner to leadership on growth, profitability, and expansion. This role is best suited for someone practical, hands-on, and commercially minded, rather than a compliance-only finance professional. A sensible, execution-focused approach is valued more than formal qualifications alone.
