Grip Invest, India’s leading one-stop destination for fixed-income investments, today announced the elevation of Ankit Dokania to the role of Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Ankit, who joined Grip Invest in January 2023 as Vice President Finance & Compliance, has been a driving force behind the company’s progress.
In his expanded mandate as CFO, Ankit will drive Grip’s financial strategy across three key priorities: strengthening financial governance across its multi-regulated, multi-entity structure, ensuring best-in-class compliance standards to protect investor interests and scaling the treasury function to support Grip’s next phase of growth.
Mr. Ankit Dokania, CFO, Grip Invest, said: “Grip Invest gave me a rare opportunity — to build a finance function from zero and grow with the business at every step. The CFO designation is now a commitment to the next chapter. Our immediate focus is to achieve EBITDA profitability — we are already at the threshold — while continuing to grow 150%+ year on year. Strong financial governance is not just a compliance function; it is the foundation on which investor and user trust is built, and that is what I am here to protect and strengthen.”
Since joining Grip Invest, Ankit has been instrumental in building a high-performing, fully in-house finance organisation establishing robust compliance and control frameworks. Beyond finance, he was a core team member of several landmark operational milestones including the launch of Grip’s Broking division in October 2023 and the operationalisation of NSDL depository operations in December 2025 capabilities that now underpin Grip’s full-stack investment infrastructure.
Mr. Nikhil Aggarwal, Founder & Group CEO, Grip Invest, said: “Ankit has played an important part in shaping Grip’s financial strategy at every critical milestone from structuring our debt capital architecture to starting up our Broking division and NSDL depository operations. Over the last two years, he has operated well beyond the traditional finance mandate, contributing directly to how we’ve built and scaled Grip Invest. This elevation reflects both the depth of his contribution and the scale of what lies ahead. We are at the threshold of EBITDA profitability, our platform is expanding rapidly across asset classes and distribution channels, and we’re confident that Ankit is the right person to lead our financial strategy through this next phase of growth.”
