Message

At WNS Global Services Pvt. Ltd., I lead and mentor a team of 22 compliance analysts, senior analysts, and subject matter experts. I provide financial crime compliance risk assessment and advisory support to global investment banking stakeholders.

I establish process inventories, manage internal risk registers, and develop KPI frameworks to support SLA compliance. My work also includes quality checks, governance reviews, and control testing aligned with global AML policies.

At Grant Thornton Bharat LLP, I directed AML/EDD client engagements for international banking entities. I conducted background intelligence covering beneficial ownership structures, global sanctions, and reputational risk, and prepared risk proposals and executive dossiers.

Earlier, at Clifford Chance Business Services, I investigated potential financial crime risks through adverse media indexing, legal registry research, and PEP tracking. At Standard Chartered Bank, I supervised transaction monitoring workflows and investigated alerts involving sanctions breaches and suspicious transactions.
