IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’ve spent 12+ years building and running FP&A functions across pharma, power, manufacturing, and professional services—owning the full planning cycle from month-end close and OPEX accruals to multi-year strategic planning.
At Bristol Myers Squibb, I transitioned 56 headcount into 7 CoEs across 5 geographies, shaping the India entity digitisation roadmap and building automated revenue and profitability dashboards that supported CXO decision-making.

Earlier at Cyient Ltd, I strengthened receivables discipline to unlock $550K+ in cash-flow benefits and cut DSO by 12%, while also building models for investment decisions like the Prague centre and supporting CEO-led initiatives to improve utilization.
