Message

At Ipsos Research Pvt Limited, I manage FP&A for a 150 Cr+ revenue portfolio and financial control across 500+ concurrent projects. I partner with senior leadership on planning, profitability, and deal feasibility.

I redesigned Power BI and Advanced Excel dashboards, automating about 40% of manual reporting and turning MIS packs into forward-looking leadership intelligence. I also use AI tools to speed up management commentary and executive presentations.

At Deutsche Bank, I supported investment banking finance leadership across budgeting, forecasting, and cost analytics. I led transformation initiatives that reduced reporting turnaround by 30% and manual effort by about 50%, and coached a three-member analyst team.

Earlier, at Tata Play Broadband Pvt Limited, I led the Annual Operating Plan process and delivered about 10% cost savings through variance analysis and cost control reviews. My finance work has also covered business-case modelling, project profitability, pricing support, statutory audit, taxation, and compliance.
