Ashish Gupta Joins Shemaroo Entertainment As CFO

Shemaroo Entertainment has appointed Ashish Gupta as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO), succeeding Amit Haria, who is stepping down after a 19-year stint with the company.

Haria played a key role in overseeing Shemaroo’s financial and business operations during his tenure and was closely involved in strategic planning and several milestones, including the company’s IPO listing in 2014.

Prior to joining Shemaroo, Gupta served as CFO at BARC India, where he led governance, automation, and operational efficiency initiatives. He has also held senior leadership positions at International SOS, Quatrro, and Kuoni Travels.

A Chartered Accountant from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and a Commerce graduate from University of Delhi, Gupta has worked across India, Singapore, Korea, and Hong Kong. He is known for his expertise in financial strategy, treasury management, profitability enhancement, process transformation, and business partnering.

Commenting on the appointment, Hiren Gada said, “I would like to thank Amit Haria for his invaluable contribution to Shemaroo. Amit has been an integral part of the company’s journey and has been closely associated with our financial growth and evolution.”

Welcoming Gupta to the company, Gada added that his cross-industry experience and strategic capabilities would help strengthen Shemaroo’s financial ecosystem and support its next phase of growth.

The appointment reflects Shemaroo Entertainment’s continued focus on strengthening its leadership team as it pursues long-term growth ambitions.
