MobiKwik appoints Anis Pathan as Chief Risk Officer

Leading Indian fintech unicorn MobiKwik has officially announced the appointment of Anis Pathan as its new Chief Risk Officer (CRO).

Approved by the Board of Directors, this strategic move comes as the platform undergoes a massive transition from a digital wallet into a comprehensive financial services institution.

Anis will spearhead the Group’s Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework during a period of aggressive scaling.

Navigating Record-Breaking Growth

Anis joins MobiKwik at a time of unprecedented financial momentum.

The company recently reported a record-breaking Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) of ₹48,100 crore for Q3 FY26, bolstered by a staggering 3.2x year-on-year surge in UPI transactions.

With the group recently securing new licenses for payment aggregation and stock broking, the need for a robust risk architecture has become a top priority for the leadership team.
