He joins with more than 15 years of expertise in enterprise SaaS and FinTech innovation, entrepreneurship, and product leadership.
TIFIN recently revealed its valuation at $842M in a new $109M Series-D financing, driven by an ecosystem of professionals in finance and investing. Financial behemoths like J.P. Morgan, Franklin Templeton, Hamilton Lane, Morningstar, Broadridge, and Motive Partners are among the investors in TIFIN. The company’s main objective of developing world-class fintech innovation out of India is furthered by Gautam’s appointment. They are now hiring for a variety of positions across teams as TIFIN continues to focus on the development and innovation of the nation. With 120 employees now working for TIFIN in India, the company plans to grow its Investments, Data Science, HR, Web3, and other important Engineering departments in FY’23.
In order to recruit top talent and bolster its leadership team in India, TIFIN also recently purchased 1st Main, a digital product agency with which they had been collaborating for some time. The co-founders of 1st Main, Kinnari Thakker and Kiran Nambiar have joined Uttung Malkan, Country Head of TIFIN India, as Chief Design Officer and Chief Technology Officer, respectively.

It runs a variety of goods inside each of its divisions, some of which are original to the platform and some of which were acquired.
“TIFIN’s vision is similar to mine in that it pushes the boundaries of the conventional and approaches it with a sense of wonder about the transformative potential of thoughtful innovation and good design. It is a pleasure to join the ranks of very diverse and experienced experts from the fintech industry who are dedicated to promoting investment diversity and leveraging technology to promote financial well-being for individuals,” said Arun Gautam, VP of Engineering at Magnifi by TIFIN.
