About

I am a senior finance leader with 12+ years of experience in FP&A, Strategic Finance, and Controllership across healthcare and global operations. My track record is built on two pillars that every growth-stage pharma organization values: driving EBITDA growth and strengthening governance and risk control. 🔹 Growth Driver Delivered 12% YoY EBITDA growth on a ₹500 Cr+ P&L across 7 countries by optimizing pricing and cost structures. Generated an additional ₹75 Cr margin (FY24) through innovative pricing models. Freed up ₹60 Cr in working capital, directly fueling R&D and expansion capacity. Enhanced agility by improving forecast accuracy 22% YoY and cutting budget cycles by 40%. 🔹 Risk & Governance Controller Achieved zero non-compliance in 3 global audits, avoiding penalties worth ₹1 Cr+. Managed a ₹225 Cr treasury book across India, UK, USA & Middle East, reducing forex volatility by 15%. Uncovered and prevented ₹2.7 Cr fraud through forensic ledger audits, implementing robust internal controls. Consistently ensured investor and board confidence with transparent, disciplined reporting. Today, I am seeking a VP/AVP Finance role in Pharma (Mumbai) with organizations above ₹500 Cr revenue — where I can scale finance operations, unlock growth opportunities, and ensure governance excellence in a regulated, globalized environment. 💡 I bring a rare balance of growth mindset and risk discipline: enabling organizations to expand faster while staying fully compliant, audit-ready, and capital-efficient.
