My various roles over this journey have focused on developing strategy, managing P&Ls and cash flows, incubating new businesses, overseeing internal operations, driving quality and efficiency, managing risk, leading special projects, delivering cross-functional client engagements – essentially, harmonizing the multiple elements of a professional services firm to deliver profitable growth. I particularly enjoy the challenge of delivering complex, multidisciplinary, medium to long-term projects involving alignment and collaboration between diverse groups together with the integration of technology, systems & processes. Additionally, I manage a Foundation that focuses on providing youth with opportunities to expend their energy through sports, specifically football. Besides the academy and grassroots development programs, we have teams playing in the Men’s Senior Division and the Women’s League of the Delhi Soccer Association.
