Debt markets platform CredAvenue has recently announced that it has appointed Abhishek Mehrotra as its Chief Human Resource Officer. Abhishek would be joining the firm after leaving his previous appointment in Bytedance.
Talking about the recent appointment of an external employee in the organisation, the founder and CEO of CredAvenue, Gaurav Kumar stated, “Our business is all about people. Hence, we have prioritised HR as one of the most critical and core business functions. Abhishek will channelise our collective goals and individual capabilities by bringing the best global HR practises and innovations to keep CredAvenue a people-first organisation.”
With over two decades of experience in human resources, Mehrotra has a familiarity with the concepts of establishing and improving HR as well as organisational structures at leading tech, startup and telecom companies.

We went from 140 employees to 400 in just the last year alone, and are looking to launch new verticals, new products, and a new go-to-market strategy. Hiring the right talent will be imperative as we scale up.”
