A shift at the top of JioStar’s leadership team signals a renewed focus on disciplined growth in a fast moving digital landscape.
JioStar has named G. R. Arun Kumar as its new Chief Financial Officer, strengthening its senior management as the company looks to scale operations while maintaining strong financial control. The appointment underlines the company’s intent to balance rapid expansion with financial agility and sound governance.
In his new role, Arun Kumar will oversee JioStar’s finance and commercial functions. He will work closely with the board, the CEOs and business leaders to support growth, profitability and long term financial resilience. The company said his mandate is closely aligned with its ambition to operate as a digital first organisation.
JioStar highlighted that operating in a rapidly evolving environment requires speed, flexibility and forward thinking decision making. Arun Kumar is expected to play a key role in enabling this shift by strengthening financial systems, improving insights and ensuring the organisation has the operational agility needed to move quickly while continuing to build scale and value.
Arun Kumar brings nearly 30 years of experience in financial leadership across multiple sectors and global organisations. He joins JioStar from the Welspun Group, where he served as Group CFO and Head of Strategy. In that role, he was responsible for finance, planning, mergers and acquisitions, compliance and investor relations.
Earlier in his career, he held senior leadership positions at several major companies. These include Unilever, where he developed deep expertise in finance and strategy, Vedanta, General Electric, where he gained exposure to global financial systems, and mobility platform OLA.
With this appointment, JioStar aims to further strengthen its financial foundation as it accelerates growth and decision making across markets in an increasingly competitive digital ecosystem.
