Grip Invest has elevated Ankit Dokania to the role of Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Dokania, who joined the company in January 2023 as Vice President – Finance & Compliance, has taken on expanded responsibilities covering financial strategy, governance, compliance, and treasury management.
In his new role, he has been tasked with strengthening financial governance across the company’s regulated entities, overseeing compliance frameworks, and scaling the treasury function to support business growth.
Since joining Grip Invest, Dokania has built the company’s in-house finance organisation and has established compliance and control frameworks. He has also contributed to key operational initiatives, including the launch of Grip’s Broking division in October 2023 and the operationalisation of NSDL depository operations in December 2025.
Commenting on the elevation, Ankit Dokania, CFO, Grip Invest, said, “Grip Invest gave me a rare opportunity — to build a finance function from zero and grow with the business at every step. The CFO designation is now a commitment to the next chapter. Our immediate focus is to achieve EBITDA profitability — we are already at the threshold — while continuing to grow 150%+ year on year. Strong financial governance is not just a compliance function; it is the foundation on which investor and user trust is built, and that is what I am here to protect and strengthen.”
Nikhil Aggarwal, Founder & Group CEO, Grip Invest, said, “Ankit has played an important part in shaping Grip’s financial strategy at every critical milestone from structuring our debt capital architecture to starting up our Broking division and NSDL depository operations. Over the last two years, he has operated well beyond the traditional finance mandate, contributing directly to how we’ve built and scaled Grip Invest. This elevation reflects both the depth of his contribution and the scale of what lies ahead. We are at the threshold of EBITDA profitability, our platform is expanding rapidly across asset classes and distribution channels, and we’re confident that Ankit is the right person to lead our financial strategy through this next phase of growth.”
