What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for professional growth.

I am a dedicated professional with a strong background in regulatory reporting and project management. My career began at Pershing Operations India Pvt. Ltd., where I played a key role in automating processes and enhancing compliance measures. I successfully reduced turnaround times for regulatory requests and developed innovative solutions to streamline operations, demonstrating my commitment to efficiency and excellence.

As a business owner and CEO of Sai Gas Agency, I honed my leadership skills and learned the intricacies of managing a successful enterprise. My experience as a freelance makeup artist further diversified my skill set, allowing me to connect with clients and understand their needs. Most recently, I served as the CEO of Wow Studios by Maya, where I led a team to deliver exceptional results in a competitive market.

With an MBA in Finance and Human Resources, I am equipped with the knowledge and skills to drive organizational growth. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to contribute to a dynamic team and help achieve strategic goals.
