What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to apply my compliance expertise and support strategic business objectives in a dynamic environment.

I am an Associate Member of the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) with a Bachelor's degree in Commerce and over four years of diversified experience in corporate governance, legal compliance, and board management. Currently, I serve as the Company Secretary at Gumar International FZC in the UAE, where I oversee secretarial functions for group companies across various regions. My proactive approach has enabled me to successfully handle entity incorporation in DMCC and manage corporate restructuring across multiple free zones.

My previous role at Fine Jewellery Manufacturing Ltd. in India further enriched my capabilities in regulatory filings and international legal coordination. I am well-versed in UAE free zone regulations and international corporate practices, and I am keen to contribute to a progressive organization where I can leverage my expertise while continuing to grow in a dynamic environment.
