Porter appoints ex-Amazon executive Gaurav Jain as CFO

Logistics unicorn Porter has appointed former Amazon executive Gaurav Jain as its chief financial officer. The company has also elevated Shubham Gupta to chief technology officer and Mohit Rathi to chief marketing officer.

Jain’s appointment comes nearly six months after the exit of his predecessor, Anurag Jalori. He joins after more than 11 years at Amazon, where he most recently served as director and head of finance for India operations and supply chain. He is a chartered accountant and previously held finance and strategy leadership roles at Shalimar Paints and Religare.

Gupta, who joined Porter in 2015, will lead technology across the company. He was previously vice president of engineering, and oversaw the function through its expansion, including modernising the core technology stack and adopting AI.

Rathi, who has spent more than 11 years at Porter, will lead growth and marketing. Since 2023 he served as vice president of customer growth and engagement, working on customer retention, scaling Porter Enterprise and rebuilding the customer rewards programme.

Founded in 2014 by Uttam Digga and Pranav Goel, Porter offers logistics services to both consumers and businesses. These include enterprise goods movement and management, packers and movers for relocation, and intercity courier services.

The company says it serves more than 30 lakh customers and 3 lakh driver-partners every month across 35 cities in India. The customer base includes 20 lakh MSMEs.

Porter’s net profit more than quadrupled to ₹229 Cr in FY26 from ₹55.3 Cr in FY25, while revenue rose 54% to ₹6,650 Cr from ₹4,306 Cr. It became a unicorn last year after raising $200 Mn at a valuation of around $1.1 Bn to $1.2 Bn in a round led by Kedaara Capital and Wellington Management.

”Shubham and Mohit have been pillars of this company, the core of how we work. Their new roles recognise the ownership they have shown, the impact it has created, and the trust we place in them to take Porter forward. We are also delighted to welcome Gaurav as our CFO. His experience in scaling businesses will be a strong addition as we enter our next phase of growth,” said Porter cofounder and CEO Uttam Digga.
