DDB Mudra Group has announced Anurag Bansal as CFO of DDB Mudra Group, effective January 1, 2014. Bansal takes over from Dilip Kumar Upadhyaya who has stepped down after 26 years with the group. Upadhyaya will however continue to be a Consultant to the DDB Mudra Group.

Bansal will oversee the Finance, Legal and Commercial and Information Technology functions of all entities under the group, in addition to heading the financial integration of the DDB Mudra Group with Omnicom Group Inc.

Bansal has an MBA degree in Finance and over 16 years of experience. He is also a trustee of the Mudra Foundation for Communications Research and Education.

He is valued for his expertise in interpreting corporate vision and strategy, translating objectives into actionable plans and providing decisive leadership to cross-functional and multi-regional teams.

Commenting on his new role, Bansal said, “I am very excited to step into the role of Group CFO. The CFO of today is very different from the CFO of even a decade ago. The CFO's role today goes beyond the mere accuracy of numbers. Apart from implementing a robust process for financial information, compliance and corporate governance, together with a high level of risk assessment, he is required to have a more sophisticated understanding of all areas of the business and its operations. The journey for me has just begun and I look forward to some challenging yet exciting times ahead.”
