Udaan, an e-business-to-business (e-B2B) platform, has announced senior-level organisational changes as Aditya Pande, who was the Group CFO for over three years, has decided to exit to pursue opportunities outside of the firm, according to a media release.
The groundwork set by Pande’s leadership will allow Udaan to take advantage of scale advantages, future growth prospects, and cost synergies.
A company statement states that Kiran Thadimarri, group finance controller, will be promoted to the executive management team and given additional responsibilities, including managing corporate finance, corporate audit, and treasury operations, on top of his current role as financial controller. He will be answering to the CEO in his expanded capacity.
Vishnu Menon, head of corporate strategy and IR, will have new responsibility for business finance as part of the organisational reforms. He will still be answering to the CEO. Menon has spent the last four years working with Udaan. His prior roles included founding and serving as CEO of the experiential tourism business Wandertrails and consulting for Bain & Co.
In a statement, the company said, “These changes are in line with the company’s commitment to drive profitable growth and continue strengthening core capabilities.”
Vaibhav Gupta, Co-founder and CEO of Udaan said, “We believe that empowering our internal leaders will not only strengthen our operational capabilities but also drive sustainable growth, aligned with our ‘efficiency with excellence’ agenda.”
