Gurugram, Haryana, India, August 2025 — Mayank Gupta has been appointed Group CFO at CarDekho Group, bringing with him over two decades of leadership experience across global corporations and high-growth start-ups. In his new mandate, he will steer CarDekho’s financial strategy, governance, and IPO readiness as the company accelerates its next phase of growth.
Gupta rejoins CarDekho Group, where he previously served as Group CFO from 2021 to 2024. During that tenure, he was instrumental in turning the company profitable, raising capital, and establishing a governance framework aligned with public market standards. His contributions were pivotal in enhancing the company’s financial architecture as it expanded across products and markets.
Before this, Gupta served as Chief Financial Officer at Jindal Steel & Power Ltd., where he led financial operations and compliance during a phase of strategic realignment. He also held the role of Group CFO at Z47 (formerly Matrix Partners India), where he brought financial rigor to the private equity firm’s portfolio and operations.
Earlier in his career, Gupta held senior finance leadership roles at Tata 1mg, where he supported the strategic stake sale to the Tata Group, and at Ecom Express Limited, where he enabled the company to scale profitably by four times while raising multiple funding rounds. At Ecom Express, he led a 170+ member team across finance, legal, secretarial, procurement, and administration.
His foundational corporate experience includes a thirteen-year tenure at GE, where he was part of the premier leadership program and served as CFO across three South Asia businesses. Notably, he helped GE secure its largest India deal—a ~$3B “Make in India” project with Indian Railways. At Maruti Suzuki India Limited, one of his earliest roles, he successfully handled one of the country’s largest income tax cases and played a key role in vendor payment automation.
Beyond his executive career, Gupta is also a public market investor and angel investor, with a portfolio spanning tech-driven start-ups in sectors such as D2C, SaaS, fintech, and health-tech. His strategic perspective across finance, operations, and governance continues to position him as a valuable force in scaling future-ready organizations.
A Chartered Accountant and an All-India rank holder, Mayank Gupta is also a graduate of Shri Ram College of Commerce, University of Delhi. His academic foundation in finance and commerce has underpinned his consistent leadership across both legacy firms and digital-first businesses.
