Sindhu Nagaraja — CEO

I didn't plan to become the person who spots high-risk gaps before they become headlines, walks into newly transitioned processes and brings order to the chaos, or gets called a "Star" by a CFO of one of the world's largest engineering companies. It happened because I showed up fully for 19 years. I'm Sindhu, a Chartered Accountant and Function Head Business Risk & Controls at Société Générale Global Solution Centre, Bangalore. Across nearly two decades, I've worked across IT, Manufacturing and Banking three industries where the stakes are different, but the cost of weak controls is always the same. I've stepped into processes mid-transition and identified critical gaps before they became critical risks for the organisation. Designed risk frameworks that teams actually use. Led SOX and IFC compliance reviews. And walked into rooms where nobody expected the auditor to also be the one driving real, lasting improvement. One of my proudest moments? Managing an end-to-end audit single-handedly for ABB entity and having their CFO call me the Star of the team and want me on board permanently on their team . Not because I followed a checklist. Because I brought clarity where there was complexity. I've also been that returning mother who refused to let a career break define her ceiling and was recognised as Best Employee for it.Recognised as Employee of the Year, followed by Manager of the Year, and most recently led the team to Team of the Year recognition" Today I'm building my voice as a thought leader in Internal Audit, Risk Frameworks and Controls because I believe this knowledge shouldn't stay locked inside boardrooms and audit reports. I write here across 3 series: 🔴 From the Audit Room — Real stories from 19 years of audit, risk and controls across IT, Manufacturing and Banking. 🔵 Risk in Plain English — Demystifying internal audit, IFC, SOX and risk frameworks for founders, CFOs and finance teams. 🟡 The CA Who Chose Herself — The honest journey of a CA building her independence, one decision at a time. If you're a founder, CFO, or finance leader who wants to get your risk and controls function right or just someone figuring out the second chapter of a long career you're in the right place.
