I am convinced beyond doubt that we found the right person. SV’s experience speaks for itself. Man of few words, SV has been a hands-on flawless operation centric leader through and through. His clarity on Cash Flow augmentation, Creation of alternative revenue lines and Strengthening of P&L and Building businesses grounds up makes me feel very comfortable. I have always advocated that every organisation is only as good as the people it contains. Look at the background and the achievements of the team and one should be able to make a fair assessment about the journey being embarked by any team/company. SV shall be primarily focussed on our UK business interests and we shall leverage his expertise into the Indian arm at the appropriate time.”

S.V.Rangan shall currently be functioning to augment RedGirraffe.com’s strategic interest within the United Kingdom. SV Shall be operating from RedGirraffe’s London offices. 

SV Rangan commented “I am personally a landlord in India and I must say my team has tried and tested pretty much every other company that’s operational down under. Having tested everyone I had to take that dreaded call to keep my investment vacant. The reason is same as those against which RedGirraffe.com was conceived and stands. I was impressed by the cumulative vision of the Executive and Non Executive Co-Founders. Its not every other day that one finds a start-up that’s doing well on its own based on the revenue/cash flows generated. The revenue model being sturdy, its so many other finer operational intricacies managed so well by the team that makes this venture truly special and hence interesting for me.  I knew I would like to work with an aggressive and young global FinTech team. Over the last 5 years I had declined many positions. Then I am glad RedGirraffe.com happened.”
