Akme Fintrade appoints Dipesh Jain as COO to drive operations

In a move aimed at strengthening execution across its operations, Akme Fintrade (India) Limited has named Dipesh Jain as Chief Operating Officer, effective July 29, 2026. The appointment was approved by the board at a meeting held that evening, signaling a leadership push to sharpen the company’s day-to-day operations as it steers its growing lending and financing agenda.

Dipesh Jain brings a profile of the kind the company highlights for senior leadership: a background described as having over eight years of experience in the financial services industry, with emphasis on building client relationships and delivering tailored financial solutions. The profile notes a client-centric approach and strong communication and relationship-management skills—traits the company likely sees as critical to tightening execution and consumer-facing performance.

The appointment comes as Akme Fintrade continues to evolve under RBI’s Scale Based Regulation framework, marking the transition of the group from NBFC-BL to NBFC-ML. In recent board discussions, leadership noted this strategic shift, underscoring an emphasis on governance and disciplined growth as the company expands its footprint in the financial services space.

Industry observers will be watching how the new COO translates strategy into sharper operations, integrating front-end client engagement with back-end processes to support sustainable growth. Jain’s arrival, aligned with the firm’s ongoing transformation, could prove pivotal as Akme Fintrade pursues execution-focused expansion in a competitive lending landscape.
