Realty portal Housing.com has appointed Rishabh Gupta as interim CEO after it sacked co-founder and ex-CEO Rahul Yadav last week.


Gupta, who is currently Chief Operating Officer (COO) in the SoftBank-backed portal, has been named as interim CEO with immediate effect, sources said.


Rishabh Gupta, Haresh Chawla and Abhishek Anand (Chief Technical Officer) will be joining the company's operating committee, they added.

On July 1, Housing.com's board had sacked Yadav with immediate effect, saying that his behaviour towards investors and media was not "befitting" of a CEO. The company had also said that Yadav would not be an employee or part of the portal in any manner. The board had unanimously agreed to bring Yadav's tenure to a close, with reference to "his behaviour towards investors, ecosystem and the media".
