Aurus Inc. has recently appointed Rishabh Jain as Senior Vice President & Head of Business, Strategy & Growth – India & Emerging Markets, effective immediately.
The strategic leadership move comes at a critical juncture as Aurus sharpens its focus on scaling its regional merchant orchestration network and aggressively expanding its multi-market cross-border payments footprint.
In his new regional mandate, Jain will hold comprehensive end-to-end ownership of revenue, profitability, and market expansion across India and high-growth emerging economies. He will be responsible for architecting the company’s structural national go-to-market (GTM) strategy, driving high-value enterprise sales, accelerating corporate acquisitions, and forging critical bank-driven partner alliances.
Jain brings to the table a stellar 13-year track record spanning corporate strategy, B2B enterprise sales, international expansion, and digital payment frameworks. An alumnus of the prestigious Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (IIM), he possesses authoritative domain expertise in handling complex digital commerce architectures, merchant acquiring rails, and multi-layered bank partner ecosystems.
Prior to anchoring the growth engine at Aurus Inc., Jain held pivotal, high-impact leadership and business roles across the absolute cream of India’s banking, fintech, and corporate conglomerates, including:
- HDFC Bank & Pine Labs: Spearheaded critical initiatives within enterprise digital payments and institutional merchant acquiring ecosystems.
- Paytm & Cashify: Directed fast-evolving commercial initiatives, managing high-velocity scale and commercial structuring.
- Maxis & The Tata Group: Formulated scalable corporate strategies, international market access systems, and critical client engagements at the CXO layer.
Throughout his decorated career, Jain has built a market reputation for high-velocity commercial execution, scaling business verticals from structural inception to high profitability, and cultivating resilient C-suite relationships with prominent financial institutions and Fortune 500-level retail conglomerates.
The appointment mirrors an overarching global pivot within the financial services sector where massive tier-1 retail merchants are centralizing their multi-country payment ecosystems into unified tech layers to eliminate regional processing drop-offs and reduce merchant fees.
By leveraging Jain’s strategic foresight and aggressive approach to market penetration, Aurus Inc. plans to significantly deepen its systemic integration into India’s rapidly evolving financial ecosystem while unlocking critical strategic corridors in parallel emerging international markets.
