Stashfin strengthens its leadership team, appoints Ranjan Agarwal as SVP, Strategic Alliances
Mumbai, June 12, 2025: Stashfin, a fast-growing financial services platform, today announced the appointment of Ranjan Agarwal as its Senior Vice President of Strategic Alliances. In this role, Agarwal will drive Stashfin’s fintech partnerships across banks, NBFCs and other financial institutions in India, furthering the company’s mission to scale innovative lending solutions and extend credit access to underserved segments of the market. The move underscores Stashfin’s commitment to bolstering its leadership and partnership network as it expands its credit offerings and financial services footprint.
Ranjan is a veteran of India’s banking and fintech sector with over two decades of experience. He joins Stashfin from AU Small Finance Bank, where he served as Executive Vice President and National Business Manager. During his 12-year tenure, he led the institutional lending business, disbursing loans of over ₹22,000 crores and contributing more than ₹500 crores in profit, accounting for over 20% of the bank’s overall profits. He evaluated and funded more than 200 NBFCs and fintechs, helping shape the country’s alternative credit ecosystem. Under his leadership, the portfolio consistently delivered among the lowest loss rates in the industry. His deep expertise in institutional banking and fintech partnerships is expected to help Stashfin forge new coalitions and distribution channels for its digital credit products.
Stashfin’s founder and CEO Tushar Aggarwal welcomed Ranjan to the team. “Ranjan will strengthen internal and external coalitions and take Stashfin to greater heights,” Aggarwal said, adding that “Ranjan’s industry experience will enhance Stashfin’s unique position among customers and partners”. On the company’s leadership focus, he added “We remain committed to serving the credit needs of the underserved segments and bringing in some of the best talents in the country to accelerate that mission”.
The appointment comes at a critical inflection point for Stashfin. Over the past year, the platform has witnessed 10× growth in business volumes, crossed 20 million registered users, and recorded over 40 million app downloads. As Stashfin transitions into offering a full suite of financial products, Agarwal’s leadership will be vital in unlocking new lending partnerships, embedded finance models, and co-lending opportunities that deepen its impact across Tier 2 & 3 markets.
Looking ahead, Stashfin remains focused on its broader goal of financial inclusion in India. The company continues to expand its suite of digital lending products, combining AI-driven underwriting with transparent terms. Ranjan’s leadership in strategic alliances is expected to accelerate this strategy. By strengthening ties with banks, fintech firms and enterprise partners, Stashfin is well positioned to grow its “fintech partnerships” and deepen its reach into underserved markets, cementing its role in India’s financial services sector.
