Stepping into the fray with capital comprising his savings, a loan against his house, and contributions from the co-founder, Rashesh Shah has taken Edelweiss from a team of four to the legacy institution it stands as today.
Under his leadership, Edelweiss has expanded its offerings to include credit solutions for retail and corporate clients, investment and advisory services, as well as an insurance portfolio. Beyond Edelweiss, he has been influential in key financial issues like the Public Credit Registry, Insolvency Law, and SEBI’s Insider Trading Regulations. He was the president of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI) during 2017-2018.
An alumnus of the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, Rashesh Shah’s leadership philosophy advocates innovation, customer-centricity, and leveraging technology for efficiency.
Staying true to Narayana Murthy’s advice to him when he started, Rashesh Shah has not built a business, but an organization.
Stay tuned. We will be back next week with Ronnie Screwvala, Co-founder and Chairman, upGrad.
