Gaurav Maheshwari has been named Chief Financial Officer of InCred Finance, the consumer and MSME lending division of the InCred Group, with effect from December 16, 2024.

Maheshwari has over 27 years of illustrious experience in financial leadership, including over 20 years as the Cluster CFO for South Asia and India at Standard Chartered Bank.
