Finance & strategy leader turning pharmacy and retail data into profitable decisions and measurable cost optimization.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Finance & Strategy leader with 13+ years driving growth, transformation, and excellence across finance, FP&A, and cross-functional operating models. I build and run budgeting & financial planning (P&L, capex, cash flow) and translate complex insights into clear actions for senior leadership.
At Imaginations Softech (Day Lewis Pharmacy UK), I analyzed data from 250 pharmacies to shape targeted strategic initiatives and established reporting governance by coordinating cross-functional teams to track KPIs. Through cost optimisation—especially via the Delivery Drivers effort—I achieved a 7.35% reduction in pharmacy-level operating costs while balancing on-time medicine delivery.
I’ve also led in retail and business operations, fast-tracking through roles from Retail Merchandiser to Business Head/Analyst at Seva Group of Companies. Earlier, as an Article Assistant and CA-trained professional, I supported tax compliance for 40+ clients, managed Service Tax & GST migration, and developed strong foundations in financial modelling and valuation.
