What does a finance leader, a semiconductor chip in your bank card, and a coffee break have in common? This week on Fika Friday at the Office 🎙️, Ram Puranam sat down with SOUNDAR RAJ, CFO at NXP Semiconductors India, at NXP's campus in Bangalore. Soundar has spent over two decades at the intersection of finance, leadership and rapid business transformation, from building Qualcomm's India operations from 25 people to 5,000, to navigating 14 years of growth and acquisitions at NXP. A few things worth sitting with: — Finance is no longer the rearview mirror. The expectation now is that it tells the business where to go and how to get there. — The best leaders don't just sit in meeting rooms and decide. They walk the corridors and talk at coffee breaks. — And the office? It has to be a magnet, not a mandate. One of the more quietly powerful episodes of the season. 🎧 Full episode now live, link in the comments. #FikaFriday #FikaFridayAtTheOffice #Finance #Leadership #NXP #Semiconductors #FutureOfWork #Podcast
