“Leadership is about leaving systems, structures, and strategies stronger than you found them.” As a seasoned Finance Leader, I spearhead transformative financial strategies, governance policies & digital solutions to drive long-term value & regulatory compliance. I possess 29 years of experience redefining financial strategies, executing IPO, securing funds, planning capital restructuring and improving profitability through data-driven decisions across manufacturing, pharma, chemicals, retail and engineering sectors. As an accomplished CFO, I demonstrate profound knowledge & expertise in digital transformation of financial & operational processes, facilitating analytics-based account management, commercial planning & control, risk management, audit reconciliation and statutory compliance.    After leading financial management & governance functions for 29+ years, I am adept at financial planning, IPO handling, investor relations, investment strategies, M&A transactions, commercial deal structuring, risk profiling, fundraising & allocation, revenue models & metrics, forecasting, P&L operations, tax planning, cost control, treasury operations, process digitization, SAP S/4HANA implementation, change execution, OPEX/CAPEX control, governance, IFRS & GAAP-compliant reporting and SEBI/FEMA/ Companies Act compliance.    I build aggressive transformation plans with turbocharged processes, multi-dimensional financial expertise and leadership capabilities. I bear the necessary collaborative and negotiation skills to engage effectively with multi-level stakeholders. I worked with Intech, Punjab Chemicals & Crop Protection Ltd, Supriya Lifescience Ltd, Malhotra Group, Murjani Group – Tommy Hilfiger (India), Timezone Entertainment Pvt Ltd, Corporate Stationery Pvt Ltd (Kalpataru Group) and Excel Industries Ltd (Shroff Group). Academically, I am a commerce graduate and a qualified chartered accountant.   I thrive in a results-driven & dynamic environment where integrity is highly valued. Beyond work, you will find me reading a book or travelling.
