Since 2019, I have been an integral part of the Zydus Group, contributing to financial operations and strategy across esteemed entities like Zydus Wellness and Zydus Lifesciences. My journey reflects a blend of stability and agility marked by a brief transition in 2022 to Wingreens Farms during a period of operational uncertainty following Kraft Heinz's acquisition by Zydus Wellness. This move, though temporary, was a calculated decision prioritizing family responsibility and professional continuity.

However, recognizing the financial instability of the startup environment, I made a conscious return to Zydus within six months, reaffirming my commitment to long-term impact and organizational growth. This experience underscores my ability to navigate unpredictable business landscapes with foresight and resilience.
