I am a senior professional having 20 years hands-on execution experience in driving profitable growth, corporate transformation and change management through organic & inorganic expansion. Prior to joining TMFL, I have worked with many leading organizations including the TATA group companies and other MNCs. My experience as an investment banker has helped me to understand various global assignments related to cross border acquisitions private equity and start up venture fund raising, pricing and large contract negotiation, leadership development and succession planning, equity & debt financing and more.

Is there any strategy that TMFL is looking to adhere, in order to fulfil its future goal?
We are focusing on adhering Financial Intellect strategy in order to thrive in today’s complex business world. It helps to develop capabilities to staple financing products to leverage customer and product life cycle. Also, it is needed to understand the concept of lifecycle financing and key features of a financing product. Financial intellect will culminate in ‘cross over leaders’ within TMF with a holistic under standing of entire financing lifecycle, being able to identify new opportunities for growth. Besides, we aim to build an insight-driven CRM, where we would aggregate data from several sources.
