Abhishek Gupta, who served as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of OYO for nine years, has officially joined Lenskart as its new CFO. Gupta announced the career shift through a LinkedIn post, where he reflected on his time at OYO and expressed gratitude to the company’s founder, Ritesh Agarwal, for the trust and friendship they shared during his tenure.
This appointment comes at a pivotal moment for Lenskart, following the resignation of its previous CFO, Mukti Hariharan, who recently left the company to take up a position at Coca-Cola. Hariharan also took to social media, reflecting on her time at Lenskart, stating, “What an incredible journey it has been. I’m excited for the future of the business, and I feel immense pride in the high-performance team I had the opportunity to build and lead.”
In his new role as CFO, Gupta will be tasked with overseeing Lenskart’s long-term financial strategy, enhancing corporate governance, and guiding the company’s strategic planning and execution. Gupta’s vast experience at OYO, which is preparing for its IPO, is expected to bring valuable financial insights to Lenskart as it continues to expand its presence in the eyewear market.
Gupta left OYO in March 2024, making way for Rakesh Kumar, who was promoted internally to the role of Group CFO after six years with the company. Gupta’s expertise in financial management and strategy will now support Lenskart’s ongoing growth initiatives and operational efficiency.
