At Stashfin, his mandate includes advancing cloud-native architecture, strengthening platform reliability, improving performance, and enhancing cost efficiency across the technology stack to support growing customer and transaction volumes.

A key focus of his role will be leading AI-driven transformation across engineering, product, and business operations. Under his leadership, AI will be deeply embedded into product development and day-to-day operations, moving beyond experimentation to deliver measurable impact. This includes AI-assisted and automated code generation, reviews, and quality checks to boost developer productivity and speed up time-to-market; automated CRM and customer communication workflows for intelligent routing, personalised engagement, and faster resolution; and AI-powered collections and operations, using data-driven insights to optimise outreach, timing, and customer interactions.

We are investing in cloud-native systems, strong data foundations, and applied AI across engineering and operations—from AI-assisted development and automated CRM workflows to intelligent operations such as smart collections. By combining AI-led innovation with a security-first approach, we aim to accelerate time-to-market, reduce manual effort, and deliver reliable, trusted, and personalised digital experiences at scale.”

Tushar Aggarwal, Founder and CEO, Stashfin, added, “As Stashfin continues to grow, technology, data, and AI are central to how we scale responsibly and sustainably. Abhishek brings a strong combination of platform thinking, execution excellence, and AI-first leadership. His experience in building large, resilient digital systems will be critical as we strengthen our technology foundations, accelerate innovation, and deliver long-term value to our customers and stakeholders.”

Gupta’s remit also covers application and cloud security, data protection, and governance, ensuring Stashfin’s platforms remain secure, compliant, and resilient as the business scales. He will work closely with product, business, and operations teams to drive product-led innovation, align technology execution with business outcomes, and build strong data foundations and scalable AI to enable faster decision-making and consistent customer experiences at scale.
