About

Hi, I’m Puja, a finance professional with 3+ years of experience in FP&A and strategic planning. In my current role as FP&A Assistant Manager, I focus on forecasting, financial reporting, expense management, and month-end close activities. My work is all about making numbers meaningful, helping leaders see the bigger picture, manage risks, and make smarter decisions. Previously at Tech Mahindra, I worked closely with leadership on MIS reporting, variance analysis, financial forecasting, and headcount movement analysis. This experience helped me strengthen my skills in financial analysis and collaborate with cross-functional teams. I also worked with tools like Power BI, SAP BO, and Advanced Excel to simplify complex data and make insights easier to act on. Outside of work, I enjoy creating content on LinkedIn, where I share insights on finance, marketing, and current trends in a simple and relatable way. This led to my recognition in Favikon’s Top 100 for Corporate Finance creators. I enjoy connecting with people who are curious about finance, marketing, strategy, and personal branding, so if you’d like to exchange ideas, collaborate, or just talk numbers, feel free to reach out!
