India
Message

At Strides Pharma Science Ltd, I handle complex merger and demerger accounting and prepare and review standalone financial statements under IFRS and Ind AS. I also coordinate external audits and monitor financial and business KPIs.

At Alternicq Limited, I improved reporting operations by implementing automation for plant-level financials and reports, reducing process time by 15%. I also managed group reporting and coordinated audit closure across 23 plants using MS Dynamics 365.

Earlier, at Shyam Infra Nirman Private Limited, I shortened the month-end close by two days through process improvements using SAP FICO. At Dalhousie Jute Company, I oversaw Oracle finance and accounting module implementation and contributed to a 10% reduction in departmental overspending.
