Info Edge CFO Chintan Thakkar steps down after 12 years
Chintan Thakkar has wrapped up his 12-year journey as Info Edge's Chief Financial Officer, with his last day of service on November 19.
This move was part of a planned transition, and he's now set to lead IAN Group as Group CEO and take on a senior role at IAN Alpha Fund.
Why does this matter?
Thakkar played a huge part in transforming Info Edge—think taking it from smallcap status to an 18x jump in market value.
He drove big fundraising moves, helped invest in over 100 startups (including Zomato and Policybazaar), and was known for keeping things transparent and well-run behind the scenes.
What else should you know?
Thakkar wasn't just about the numbers—he shaped strategy, managed risks, and earned respect across the company for his leadership.
To keep things steady during this change, Ambarish Raghuvanshi is stepping in as interim CFO while Info Edge searches for a permanent replacement.
