MUMBAI: Ever heard of putting your money where your mouth is? Moneycontrol clearly has, as they’ve handed the revenue steering wheel over to none other than Zarrar Don—a man who doesn't just chase opportunities, he tackles them to the ground. Is Moneycontrol placing all its eggs in one basket? Possibly, but when that basket is as sturdy as Don, who's complaining?
On 18 March 2025, Moneycontrol officially announced Don as its new chief revenue & business growth officer, entrusting him to drive sales and revenue growth across all its formats. If you've ever wondered how Moneycontrol plans to stay ahead in India's competitive financial news arena—well, now you know.
Don isn't new to the big league. With over 20 years in media, financial services, and retail, he's a seasoned pro at turning strategies into solid cash. His recent tenure as CRO for business news at News18 Studios showed he's got the knack for revenue strategy, leadership, and brand building. Translation: he's the guy you want in your corner during tough business brawls.
His role at Moneycontrol? Simple—grow, grow, and keep growing. His mission is to amplify Moneycontrol’s position as India's go-to financial platform. A task he's uniquely suited for, given his track record of turning big ideas into big results.
Moneycontrol, already India's leading financial platform, pulls in impressive numbers—38.35 million unique visitors in January alone, according to Comscore MMX data. That’s 3.35 million more than The Economic Times, if anyone’s keeping score (which clearly, we are). Plus, Moneycontrol Pro, the platform's subscription service, already crossed the one million subscriber milestone last October, catapulting it into the global top 15 news subscription platforms.
Clearly, Don’s job isn't just about maintaining a lead; it's about widening it enough to comfortably sip chai without spilling.
Will Don turn Moneycontrol’s promising growth into a money-spinning saga? Time will tell, but judging by his CV, we’re betting this Don's rule will be one for the books.
