Inspiring Resilience. Driving Growth. Unlocking Leadership.
Who am I?
I am Anand Singh, a Business & Revenue Leader with over 22 years of experience in payments, fintech, and banking. My career has been defined by building scalable distribution models, forging strategic alliances, and unlocking sustainable profitability for leading organizations such as Cashfree Payments, PayU, HDFC Bank, and ICICI Bank. Beyond strategy and numbers, however, I believe in the power of resilience and motivation. Therefore, my mission is to inspire professionals and businesses to transform challenges into opportunities, and to help them develop the mindset needed to thrive in today’s dynamic environment.
My Journey so far
I was born and raised in Jamshedpur, a city known for its resilience and industrious spirit — values that have shaped my own approach to leadership and growth. Following this foundation, I pursued Mechanical Engineering from Belgaum (Belagavi), Karnataka, which gave me a strong technical base. Later, I completed my MBA in Marketing from ICFAI Business School, Gurgaon, where I honed my skills in strategy, business development, and leadership.
Over the years, I managed diverse regions across India — from North and West to East and South — gaining a deep understanding of varied markets, customer behaviors, and business ecosystems. Consequently, my professional journey through Cashfree Payments, PayU, HDFC Bank, and ICICI Bank allowed me to scale businesses, build alliances, and deliver measurable impact. Moreover, earlier experiences at Gabriel India, MapmyIndia, Kent RO Systems, and Sara Engineering Works enriched my perspective across industries, shaping me into both a strategist and mentor.
My role today
I am currently serving as Business Unit Head at Cashfree Payments, where I lead Banking Referral Partnerships and Product Solutions with full P&L ownership. In this role, I focus on unlocking incremental revenue opportunities, strengthening digital payment adoption, and driving growth through bank-led distribution networks.
Alongside my corporate responsibilities, I am deeply committed to my role as a motivational coach and mentor. I work with payments ecosystem professionals and fintech leaders to help them build resilience, sharpen their leadership skills, and unlock career breakthroughs.
I am also eligible to serve as an Independent Director, bringing governance readiness, compliance expertise, and strategic oversight to organizations seeking experienced leadership in financial services and technology.
