About

I am a global finance leader with over two decades of experience helping businesses scale, transform and navigate complex regulatory and operational environments. Across my career I have worked at the intersection of technology, digital platforms and regulated ecosystems, leading finance functions for organizations such as Protean eGov Technologies, Datamatics, Network18, Syntel and Clariant. My work as CFO has focused on three core areas: Capital allocation and enterprise value creation Helping organizations deploy capital effectively, drive disciplined growth and build sustainable financial foundations. Building scalable finance organizations Creating finance functions that enable businesses to scale globally while maintaining strong governance and operational discipline. Navigating complex regulatory and digital ecosystems Particularly in areas such as digital infrastructure, fintech frameworks and emerging data governance environments. I am especially interested in the evolving role of the CFO as a strategic partner to the CEO and board, where finance leaders increasingly play a central role in shaping enterprise strategy, managing risk and enabling long-term growth in the digital economy. Alongside my corporate roles, I actively contribute to discussions on leadership, governance and the future of finance, and have been invited to speak at industry forums including programs hosted by various eminent institutions like IIM Calcutta, SDA Bocconi , ICAI , ICSI , EIILM Kolkatta and many reputed forums ! I hold professional qualifications as a Chartered Accountant, CPA (USA) and Cost Accountant, and have pursued executive education at the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business and Indian Institute of Management Calcutta. I am particularly interested in engaging with global organizations, founders, investors and boards that are building the next generation of technology-driven and globally scalable businesses. I enjoy conversations around global finance leadership, capital strategy and the evolving role of the CFO in the digital economy.
