Info Edge, the parent company of Naukri, is making changes to its senior leadership, appointing former Adobe Systems India Managing Director Naresh Chand Gupta as an independent director and Himanshu Agarwal as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

Gupta will join Info Edge’s board from October 1, 2026, for a five-year term, subject to shareholder approval. He is currently associated with Accuracap Technologies and Accuracap Consultancy Services and serves as an independent director on the boards of eClerx Services and NoPaperForms.

He is also returning to Info Edge’s board, having previously served as an independent director until March 2023.

Himanshu Agarwal to Take Over as CFO

Alongside Gupta’s appointment, Info Edge has named Himanshu Agarwal as its new CFO, effective September 17.

Agarwal will also join the company’s board as an additional director and is expected to take on the role of whole-time director and CFO, subject to the necessary approvals.

With more than three decades of experience, Agarwal brings a background spanning finance, corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, and business transformation across companies in India and international markets.

He has also been inducted into Info Edge’s Risk Management Committee and Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting Committee.

Ambarish Raghuvanshi to Step Down as Interim CFO

The leadership transition will also see Ambarish Raghuvanshi step down as Info Edge’s interim CFO on September 16.

Raghuvanshi took over the interim CFO role in November 2025 and will remain associated with the company as a finance advisor until October 31, helping ensure a smooth handover to Agarwal.

The latest appointments come as Info Edge continues to build its leadership and finance functions while focusing on its portfolio of internet businesses and technology investments.

The changes mark another step in strengthening the company’s leadership bench as it navigates its next phase of growth.
