Hiring: Chief Executive Officer

We are retained on a CEO search for a behavioural finance platform in the Indian investing space. Early-stage, venture-backed, product built, early market validation done.

The premise it runs on: most investors don't lose money because of bad markets. They lose it because of their own decision-making. This business makes those biases visible, measurable and correctable.

Two engines

→ D2C

- retail and HNI investors diagnosing behavioural patterns and staying invested through cycles

→ B2B

- brokers, wealth platforms, AMCs, PMS/AIF managers and distributors embedding behavioural intelligence into their client experience

The mandate This is build-and-scale, not caretaker. You own the company end-to-end:

- Capital
- own the fundraise: narrative, deck, data room, model, valuation. Build the VC, family office and strategic investor relationships. Post-raise, run board governance and capital allocation with discipline.

- D2C

- full funnel ownership. CAC payback, cohort retention, ARPU. Build a unit-economics-positive growth motion.

- B2B

- build the enterprise sales motion from first principles. Pricing, pilots, integration, renewals. Convert early partnerships into referenceable revenue.

- Product

- set direction with the founding and tech team. Turn behavioural science into features investors pay for.





- Team

- hire and lead the leadership bench. Install the operating rhythm.

Who we're looking for

- 12-20 years overall, with real P&L; / leadership ownership
- Capital markets fluency - you understand how broking, wealth, AMC, PMS/AIF and distribution businesses actually make money, and can hold a credible conversation with a CEO, CIO or Head of Distribution
- Proven ability to raise capital or lead investor-facing conversations
- Operator with numbers to show - revenue owned, teams built, targets met
- Comfort across both a consumer funnel and an enterprise sales cycle, or the demonstrated ability to learn the one you haven't run

Robust plus: existing relationships across Indian brokers, wealth platforms, AMCs or family offices · founding or founding-team experience at a venture-backed company · scaling a product from zero to the first ₹25-50 crore of revenue Not a fit: a functional specialist looking for a title upgrade, or anyone who needs an existing machine to run.

Being upfront: this is an early-stage company. The wealth creation here is equity-led, not salary-led, and the risk profile is what you would expect at this stage. Client name and full details shared under confidentiality at first conversation.
