In this role, Abhinav will join the company’s core leadership team and board, leading its finance function with a focus on financial governance, capital efficiency, and long-term strategic planning.
Abhinav brings over 14 years of experience in finance leadership across high-growth tech startups and global FMCG giants.

At Scaler, Abhinav will focus on strengthening financial systems and reporting infrastructure, driving capital-efficient growth across current and new business verticals, uplifting compliance, planning discipline, and internal governance and support board-level financial strategy and long-term direction.
Over the next 6–12 months, his priorities include enhancing financial discipline across teams, instilling sharp planning practices, and supporting Scaler’s broader business strategy through scalable, data-driven decision frameworks.
Abhinav Vijayvargiya said, “Joining Scaler was a natural next step for me. The company is at a meaningful inflexion point — with strong product-market fit, passionate leadership, and a mission-driven culture. I’m excited to build a finance function that’s not just efficient but also strategic, enabling Scaler’s continued journey toward sustainable growth and improved profitability. One of my key goals is to help steer the company toward achieving annual profitability while strengthening financial discipline across the board.”
