Info Edge Appoints Naresh Chand Gupta as Independent Director, Himanshu Agarwal as CFO
Info Edge appointed Naresh Chand Gupta as Additional Director (Non-Executive Independent) from October 1, 2026, for five years. Himanshu Agarwal will be CFO and Whole-time Director from September 17, 2026. Ambarish Raghuvanshi concludes as Interim CFO on September 16, 2026, and will advise until October 31, 2026.
The appointment of a new CFO and an independent director are significant for the company's governance and financial oversight. These roles are crucial for strategic decision-making and regulatory compliance, thus having a medium-term impact on the company's operations and stakeholder confidence.
The announcement pertains to leadership changes, including appointments and conclusion of tenures, which are routine corporate governance activities. While these changes are important for the company's structure, they do not inherently signal a positive or negative shift in financial performance or business outlook.
Info Edge (India) Limited announced significant leadership changes following its Board of Directors meeting on September 14, 2026. Mr. Naresh Chand Gupta has been appointed as an Additional Director, to be designated as a Non-Executive Independent Director, for a term of five consecutive years from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2031, subject to shareholder approval.
In a related development, Mr. Himanshu Agarwal will assume office as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Additional Director, designated as Whole-time Director and CFO, effective September 17, 2026. This appointment follows the Board's earlier approval on the recommendation of the Nomination & Remuneration Committee and Audit Committee. Consequently, Mr. Ambarish Raghuvanshi's tenure as Interim Chief Financial Officer will conclude at the close of business hours on September 16, 2026. Mr. Raghuvanshi will continue to support the company as a Finance Advisor until October 31, 2026, to ensure a smooth transition.
The Board has also reconstituted its Risk Management Committee and Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting Committee to include Mr. Himanshu Agarwal as a member, effective September 17, 2026. Furthermore, the authorization for determining the materiality of events and making disclosures to stock exchanges has been revised in light of these KMP changes.
