Olyv Appoints Ravi Sharma As Chief Financial Officer
Olyv has appointed Ravi Sharma as chief financial officer. He joins the digital lending platform from Finova Capital, where he held the same role.
- Role: chief financial officer, Olyv

- Previously: chief financial officer at Finova Capital, which he joined in its early stages
- There he: led five equity funding rounds and onboarded more than 50 lending partners
- Experience: more than 17 years
What Ravi Sharma Brings To Olyv
A record in the part of lending that decides whether the rest of it works. Five equity rounds and more than 50 lending partners is a description of someone who has spent a career on the funding side of a loan book, which is the constraint every digital lender runs into once the demand is proven.
Rohit Garg, chief executive and founder of Olyv, said Sharma brings deep expertise across financial services, capital markets and institution-building.
Sharma said he is excited to join at a transformative stage in the company's journey.
Why The Role Matters Here
Because risk governance now sits in the same job description as capital planning. Indian digital lenders have spent two years absorbing tighter regulatory expectations on partnerships, disclosures and collections, and the finance seat is where those obligations meet the cost of funds.
