About

As a FinOps professional at Tech Mahindra since December 2020, I coordinate and collaborate with customers, management, and relevant teams to ensure the efficient management of cloud financial operations. I have successfully handled multiple cost optimization initiatives, reducing unnecessary expenses and improving resource utilization. By analyzing cloud usage patterns and identifying opportunities for savings, I have helped enhance financial transparency and accountability, ensuring alignment with business objectives. I have a bachelor's degree in commerce from Shivaji University, where I developed strong communication, lead generation, and recruiting skills. I leveraged these skills in my previous role as an Application Support at Wipro, where I worked for three years from July 2016 to October 2019. I was responsible for identifying, logging, and managing incidents, as well as coordinating with other teams and departments to obtain necessary resources or expertise. I also followed established escalation procedures and ITIL best practices to ensure quality and compliance.
