Before joining Pantomath, he led the Mumbai Markets Bureau at Moneycontrol.com, covering capital markets and policy developments. He holds a Post-Graduate Diploma in Journalism from Mumbai University.
Welcoming him to the Group, Abhishek Gupta, Managing Director – Chief Customer Officer, Pantomath Group, said, “We are delighted to welcome Ashish to the Pantomath family. His deep understanding of capital markets, coupled with his journalistic rigor and communication acumen, will further enhance Pantomath’s strategic narrative as a leading force in India’s financial ecosystem landscape.

Having observed Pantomath’s impact on India’s capital markets over the years, I look forward to contributing to its communication strategy, storytelling, and brand reputation as the Group expands its influence across investment banking, asset management, and fintech.
