Livspace CEO and Co-Founder Anuj Srivastava said," We are very excited to have Saurabh on board at a time when Livpace is rapidly growing and expanding across new segments and countries. We are lucky to attract top talent like Saurabh and have him join our super talented and rockstar leadership team. His leadership and vast experience across various domains of finance is a fantastic addition for us.”

Further, to witness the growth from India to International markets is equally exciting. I look forward to being a part of this tremendous journey, partnering with all functions to enable high-speed scaling alongside a profitable viable model with appropriate compliance and governance."
