About

Strategic financial markets leader with 20+ years of experience in corporate treasury, risk management, and structured financing across global markets. I specialize in delivering innovative and customized solutions across FX, rates, commodities, and credit for large Indian conglomerates and financial institutions. Currently heading the Indian Corporates business at Standard Chartered Bank, I’ve led structuring and execution of multi-billion-dollar risk and fundraising strategies. I bring deep expertise in cross-border financing, interest rate derivatives, hedge accounting (Ind-AS/IFRS), and regulatory advisory. My track record includes pioneering gold hedging solutions from GIFT City, structuring market-linked funding solutions, and advising CXOs across industries like steel, aviation, infrastructure, and IT services. I thrive at the intersection of regulation, innovation, and execution, building treasury strategies that balance risk, liquidity, and growth. Backed by a strong foundation from XLRI Jamshedpur and NIT Rourkela, I’m passionate about shaping strategic treasury decisions, mentoring talent, and bridging global market trends with business priorities.
