The Job

As the CFO of KPIT Technologies, one of the most exciting opportunities is the chance to influence KPIT’s standing as a unique, independent software and systems integration partner in the mobility space. My focus is on steering the business toward sustainable growth and stability, with priorities that include managing cash resources, optimising tax structures, and keeping our financial framework agile to meet KPIT’s vision.

With nearly two decades in finance and having joined KPIT in 2008, there have been many memorable moments—overseeing acquisitions, navigating mergers and demergers—that have shaped me both personally and professionally.

The Weekdays

My days start early, typically at 5 AM with an hour dedicated to fitness to set the right tone. By 9 AM, it’s time to dive into work, often using the commute to organise tasks and set priorities. Leading a team of 110 across the globe brings its own challenges, but creating a collaborative environment where every voice is heard is essential. The ‘go-getter’ mindset comes from my upbringing, especially from my parents and my mother, who taught me the importance of independence. Her memory remains a source of strength, especially at significant milestones, such as when I wore her saree to the “CFO of the Year” award ceremony.

The Weekend

Weekends offer a time to recharge and refocus. Something my husband has taught me is the value of a “health is wealth” mindset. Embracing yoga and long walks over the years has been invaluable for mental clarity, especially during tough work challenges.  Sundays are set aside for family, reflection, and preparation for the week ahead—drawing inspiration from those closest to me.

The Toys

In my downtime, I enjoy movies on OTT platforms and exploring audio content, especially audiobooks on apps like Storytel. Trekking has been a lifelong passion, and despite a major accident years ago that kept me off my feet for two years, I pushed to regain my physical fitness. Completing the Annapurna Base Camp trek remains one of my proudest achievements. Yoga, too, is a key part of my routine, helping me stay mentally grounded and physically flexible.

The Logos

Comfort and simplicity are important to me, extending to my personal style. Fabindia is a brand I connect with for its journey and sustainability-driven ethos. I do follow sustainable brands for skincare and clothing. This sustainability-first nature is also something I’ve learned and embraced in KPIT.
