DHFL appoints CEO Harshil Mehta as joint Managing Director and CEO

DHFL appointed CEO Harshil Mehta as the Joint Managing Director on Wednesday.

"It is a great honour as well as great responsibility to be present on DHFL's Board alongside other highly respected members. It is very encouraging that DHFL's continued committed efforts towards fulfilling its vision of expanding financial inclusion across India through home ownership and various strategic endeavours undertaken, find strong acknowledgment in the industry," Harshil Mehta asserted.

"I look forward to working together with every member of DHFL's leadership team to collaborate across all key businesses, expand our capabilities and further cement DHFL's leadership position as a comprehensive financial services company focused on expanding financial inclusion across the country," he added.

Over the last few months, led by several transformative changes undertaken by the Government in India, DHFL demonstrated commendable agility and great responsiveness in leveraging every opportunity that came its way.

"I welcome Harshil as a DHFL Board member as he brings a great combination of keen business acumen, a clear vision and strong leadership skills. This step is testimony to the trust and confidence that the board has in Harshil and his leadership capabilities," said, chairman and MD, DHFL, Kapil Wadhawan.

An integral part of the endeavour includes the verticalisation strategy adopted for DHFL's home loan and non-home loan businesses that has brought greater business focus and leveraged internal synergies.

"I am confident that Harshil's presence on the Board will significantly contribute to DHFL's ability to leverage new opportunities, anticipate future challenges and navigate through an increasingly competitive business environment," he added.
