Overview

Amidst global slowdown, high inflation, pressure of reducing costs and help businesses stay on track for growth, CFOs have become more important than ever. The recent turbulent times have witnessed the role of the CFO undergoing a profound shift. 2024 began at an optimistic note but the turbulence continues with the uncertainties emerging from the onset of global recession, massive layoffs and bank failures, that most likley to effect India's stability and growth. Such constant changes have posed the urgency for financial leaders to prioritise long-term sustainability and encourage environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations within their organisations. With the increasing pressure of reducing cost, portfolio optimisation is also becoming increasingly important. A proactive portfolio review process leading to portfolio optimisation is an important weapon of a CFO's arsenal. In the second edition of the CFO Connect Conclave, FinancialExpress.com aims to bring together country's top strategic leaders to deliberate creating value, supporting innovation and encouraging capital productivity.
