Independent Director and banking professional with a decade across public sector banking and enterprise technology — bridging business strategy with disciplined execution and thoughtful AI oversight in the boardroom.

01 — Profile

A career built on oversight and execution

Financial institutions today face a more complex operating environment than ever before. Strong governance, disciplined risk management, operational resilience and responsible technology adoption are no longer optional — they are essential for sustainable growth.

At Bank of Baroda, I have worked across credit, branch operations, corporate banking and governance-focused roles — managing corporate accounts, trade finance, Letters of Credit, Bank Guarantees, MSME relationships, retail lending, audit readiness, NPA recovery and business transformation.

Before banking, at Subex, I built a foundation in enterprise technology, quality assurance, release governance and system reliability — a background that now helps me bridge business strategy with technology execution and AI adoption in the boardroom.
