About Avinash Jaiswal

I am a Chartered Accountant and IIM Ahmedabad alumnus with 12+ years of experience building and scaling finance functions for high-growth startups across India’s tech ecosystem. My core strength lies in helping founders navigate complex growth phases — from early scale to large institutional rounds — with financial discipline, strategic clarity, and strong governance.Over the past decade, I’ve led finance teams across companies such as ShareChat, BrightChamps, Truecaller, Box8, Chillr, and Indus OS, partnering closely with founders and boards to drive sustainable growth, capital efficiency, and long-term value creation.I have also spent several years leading finance for a high-growth digital asset / crypto platform, managing complex regulatory, treasury, and risk considerations unique to the ecosystem. This included overseeing multi-jurisdiction operations, investor reporting, compliance frameworks, and liquidity management in a highly dynamic regulatory environment.My experience includes: • Leading multiple large fundraising rounds with global VC and venture debt investors • Building and scaling finance functions across 0→1 and 1→100 journeys • Driving end-to-end M&A transactions, from diligence through integration • Managing finance operations in regulated and high-volatility environments, including crypto • Strengthening governance, controls, and investor confidence across fast-scaling businessesI enjoy working with founders who value disciplined execution, transparent communication, and long-term value creation. If you’re building a high-growth company and need hands-on CFO leadership across fundraising, M&A, or financial strategy, I’m always open to meaningful conversations.
