In his new role, Ritesh will lead the company’s finance function where he will manage Corporate Development from a debt raising and M&A standpoint.

Commenting on his appointment, Ritesh said, I am excited by the opportunity and responsibility that comes with being the CFO of a fast growing company such as ReshaMandi. Unlike a conventional CFO, a new-age finance leader has multiple roles, especially in a start-up ecosystem which is extremely dynamic. I will be working closely with the Founders on significant areas like establishing an effective financial infrastructure, ensuring compliance, leading fundraising conversations, financial planning and analysis, and cash flow tracking. I look forward to strengthening the leadership at ReshaMandi as the company embarks on its steep growth curve.

Being a Chartered Accountant, Ritesh is also a part of the Advocacy Committee with the Indian Association of Alternate Investment Funds. Over the years, he has also advised companies on international taxation matters, direct tax issues related to structuring cross-border transactions and identifying tax planning opportunities with an overall objective to achieve a tax-efficient structure in India.
