What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities, a collaborative culture, and the chance to lead strategic financial initiatives.

I am a strategic and result-oriented Chartered Accountant with over 10 years of experience in finance leadership, FP&A, and business operations across startups and large enterprises. My journey has been marked by a proven track record in fundraising, financial controllership, and team leadership. In my most recent role at Roodland India, I managed the entire finance function and business operations team, overseeing financial statement preparation, budgeting, audit compliance, and investor relationship management for nine subsidiaries of a real estate company.

Previously, I led the finance function at leap.club, successfully raising a series A2 round and implementing cost optimization initiatives that reduced payment gateway charges by 35%. My experience also includes consulting for clients at Finiquity, where I built relationships and provided advisory services on accounting and taxation. I have a strong foundation in financial management, budgeting, and strategic planning, which has enabled me to drive significant revenue growth and operational efficiency throughout my career.
