Education financing platform GyanDhan has elevated Aman Jain to the role of Co-founder. This move acknowledges Aman’s early belief in the company’s mission and his pivotal contributions across marketing, brand building, and strategic growth over the years. Aman now joins Ankit Mehra and Jainesh Sinha as the third co-founder of GyanDhan. Aman joined GyanDhan before the company disbursed its first education loan. He took charge of marketing and branding, helping establish it as a trusted and student-centric name in education financing, transforming an opaque process into a transparent and empowering experience for thousands of students. In recent years, Jain has expanded his role to lead strategic partnerships, building GyanDhan’s B2B ecosystem across more than 30 cities and launching a SaaS+ platform that helps study abroad consultants manage and streamline the loan process for their students. “Being named Co-founder is a deeply meaningful recognition of a journey I’ve been grateful to be part of since the very beginning. Building GyanDhan alongside Ankit and Jainesh has been both fulfilling and inspiring, grounded in trust, shared purpose, and genuine friendship. I’m thankful for their support over the years and look forward to continuing this mission together,” said Aman Jain, co-founder, GyanDhan. Recently, it raised Rs 50 crore (around $5.8 million) in a Series A round from Classplus and Pravega Ventures. The company claims to have enabled over Rs 7,000 crore in loan originations and aims to triple this to Rs 18,000 crore over the next three years. It has seen rapid growth over the past few years. In FY24, the company posted an operating revenue of Rs 21.4 crore along with a profit of Rs 1.36 crore.

**IPO-bound boAt elevates Gaurav Nayyar as CEO** Nayyar, who previously served as Chief Operating Officer, steps into the CEO role at a time when boAt has returned to profitability and received regulatory clearance for its much-awaited IPO. Imagine Marketing, the parent company of boAt, has elevated Gaurav Nayyar to Chief Executive Officer as the company gears up for its next stage of growth and a public listing. Nayyar brings more than two decades of strategic and operational experience, including eight years as a partner at Bain & Company before joining boAt three years ago. Together with the founding team, he has helped drive the company’s operational execution and business performance. Co-founder Sameer Mehta, who led boAt as CEO in recent years, will now focus on long-term strategy as Executive Director. Co-founder Aman Gupta will retain his role as Non-Executive Director. The leadership change comes on the back of boAt's strong performance in FY25, as the company posted a net profit of Rs 60 crore compared to a loss of Rs 74 crore in the previous year. This turnaround was driven by cost control, resilient audio product sales, and growth in international markets, despite a contraction in its wearables division. boAt's total revenue for FY25 stood at Rs 3,098 crore, of which India contributed the majority, and international revenue grew 44 percent year on year. boAt is now set to become the first Indian D2C electronics brand to go public after receiving SEBI’s approval for its IPO. The upcoming public offer is expected to raise Rs 2,000 crore, with a fresh issue component of Rs 900 crore, and places the company’s valuation near Rs 13,000 crore, as per reports.
