Cashfree Payments, a leading Indian fintech firm, has appointed Piyush Anchliya as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective April 15, 2025. Anchliya brings over 15 years of experience in investment banking, corporate finance, strategy, and mergers and acquisitions, having held senior positions at Barclays and the IDFC/Bandhan Group. Most recently, he served as CFO at Bandhan AMC.​

This appointment is part of a broader leadership restructuring at Cashfree Payments. In recent months, the company has also brought on board Harsh Gupta as Chief Revenue Officer, Nitin Pulyani as Head of Product, and elevated Arun Tikoo to Chief Business Officer and Ramkumar Venkatesan to Chief Technology Officer. These strategic moves aim to strengthen the company’s leadership team as it navigates a competitive fintech landscape and seeks to return to profitability.​

In FY24, Cashfree Payments reported a revenue of ₹642.7 crore, marking a 4.7% increase from the previous year. However, the company’s net loss widened to ₹135 crore, partly due to a Reserve Bank of India directive that restricted new merchant onboarding from December 2022 to December 2023.​

With Anchliya at the financial helm, Cashfree Payments is poised to enhance its financial strategy and operational efficiency, supporting its mission to deliver innovative payment solutions to businesses across the ecosystem.
