Tell us about yourself 

I completed my graduation in Instrumentation engineering in 2001. Unfortunately, around that time, the entire job market was impacted due to the 9/11 crisis. Since there were very few good job opportunities in the market, I decided to do an MBA in Finance (instead of struggling to find a job). Post my MBA, I got opportunities in various finance roles and there has been no turning back.

Today I have almost two decades of experience in managing functions like Finance and Accounts, Human Resources, Information Technology, Supply Chain, and Administration.

I have worked with numerous organizations across sectors including the manufacturing and service sectors. I have operated with small start-ups and worked diligently to grow their organization. On the other hand, I have worked with large and multi-national organizations too.
