My professional journey started in audit and compliance at ICICI Bank. I worked on SOX and internal control frameworks for large retail asset operations. That time taught me how strong governance, clear processes, and disciplined controls build the foundation of any sustainable financial institution. I saw that compliance works best when it's baked into business processes, not just a checklist.
At Nomura, I got a global view of compliance. I handled electronic and voice communication surveillance across regions. It drove home the need for ethics, consistency, and good judgment in regulatory decisions. It also showed me how technology and automation create scalable, resilient frameworks.
Now at Yali Capital, I'm excited to help build a solid compliance and governance culture. It should support innovation while keeping integrity high. I think effective compliance enables growth, smart risk management, and long-term trust from stakeholders. Being on a team building world-class companies from India makes this especially rewarding.
