I’m a Senior Internal Auditor who strengthens organizational governance, risk management, and compliance, while championing the use of data analytics and AI to deliver deeper, value-added insights. With 10 years of experience, I lead complex, cross-functional audits, mentor emerging auditors, and partner closely with senior management to drive ethical, efficient, and sustainable business practices.

Most recently, as a Senior Internal Auditor at Kraft Heinz India GCC Pvt Ltd., I planned and led global audits and mentored new team members. I also applied data analytics and AI to improve risk-based audit planning across the organization.

Previously, I led multiple audit engagements as an Assistant Manager at Aditya Birla Management Corporation Pvt Ltd., covering group companies across Textile manufacturing, Metal, and Retail. Earlier in my career, I worked as an Experienced Associate at PwC, leading risk assurance and advisory engagements for Thermal Power and Utility Scale Renewables, and as a Consultant at Protiviti India Member Private Ltd., executing process audits in the Refinery and Petrochemical industry.

Across earlier roles, including Assistant Manager at K C Mehta & Co., I executed management audits across manufacturing and service industries such as construction, and worked with global teams to lead audits for businesses in North America, Europe, and Asia. I’ve handled audits across processes like Inventory Management, Plant Maintenance, Procure to Pay, Business Continuity Planning, Post SAP implementation reviews, and more—while also performing IFC testing / SOX compliance and special assignments to automate manual processes, identify SAP PM & MM usage, and flag major control lapses.
