Unicommerce taps Gaurav Juneja to drive revenue engine
NEW DELHI: Unicommerce is stepping on the accelerator. The e-commerce enablement SaaS firm has appointed Gaurav Juneja as chief revenue officer, tasking him with scaling growth as the platform pushes deeper into B2B, quick commerce and overseas markets.
Juneja will own the revenue playbook end to end, from sales and business development to customer growth and new market creation. He will also help shape go-to-market strategies for emerging products and verticals as Unicommerce widens its footprint beyond core e-commerce operations.
With more than two decades across consumer internet, financial services and retail, Juneja brings a blend of operating rigour and entrepreneurial instinct. His résumé spans leadership roles at Kapture.cx, Google, Reliance Retail and Bryan, Garnier & Co, and includes co-founding online grocery firm StarQuik, later acquired by Tata Trent. He began his career with stints at Lehman Brothers and Li & Fung India.
Kapil Makhija, managing director and chief executive at Unicommerce, said Juneja’s experience in large-scale digital transformation and data-led growth would be central to the company’s next phase. His understanding of SaaS and e-commerce, he added, would help sharpen Unicommerce’s market position as demand for smarter retail infrastructure rises.
Juneja said the opportunity lay in deepening customer partnerships while accelerating domestic and international growth. The focus, he noted, would be disciplined execution, sharper go-to-market moves and sustained scale.
The appointment comes as Unicommerce broadens its product stack, rolling out tools across B2B commerce, quick commerce, video verification and AI-led automation, while its logistics arm Shipway adds intelligence to shipping and support. The message is clear: Unicommerce is not just growing, it is gearing up to grow faster.

UK’s OnlyFans seeks US investor at $3bn valuation after owner’s death
The adult video platform is seeking stability after the death of its billionaire owner
LONDON: OnlyFans is looking for a new partner. The London-based adult video platform is in advanced talks to sell a minority stake of less than 20 per cent to Architect Capital, a San Francisco-based investment firm, in a deal that would value the business at more than $3bn (£2.2bn).
The move is driven by an urgent need for stability. Leonid Radvinsky, the Ukrainian-American billionaire who owned OnlyFans, died of cancer last month at the age of 43, leaving the future of one of Britain’s most profitable privately held businesses suddenly uncertain.
The choice of Architect Capital is not arbitrary. The firm has deep expertise in financial services, which aligns neatly with OnlyFans’ ambitions to offer banking products to its creators, many of whom have long struggled to access basic financial services because of the nature of their work.
The numbers behind OnlyFans are, by any measure, staggering. The platform posted revenues of $1.4bn in the year to 30th November 2024, with a pre-tax profit of $684m, up four per cent on the prior year. Payments to creators totalled $7.2bn over the same period, a rise of nearly ten per cent. Radvinsky personally collected $701m in dividends from the business in 2024 alone, on top of more than $1bn in such payments he had already received. The platform, run through its parent company Felix International, hosts 4.6m creator accounts, with performers keeping 80 per cent of subscription proceeds and the platform pocketing the remaining 20 per cent. It has 377m fan accounts in total.
The current minority stake talks represent a notable scaling back of ambitions. In January, OnlyFans was reported to be in discussions with Architect about selling a majority stake of 60 per cent. Before that, the company had explored a sale to a consortium led by Forest Road Company, a Los Angeles-based investment firm. Neither deal materialised.
OnlyFans has built an enormously lucrative business on content that mainstream finance has long refused to touch. Now, with its owner gone and a $3bn valuation on the table, it is looking for the kind of respectable institutional backing that might finally persuade the banks to take its calls.
