PwC India
At PwC India, I worked on enterprise analytics and technology consulting in regulated environments. My work involved reporting, data governance, operating processes and coordination across business and technical stakeholders.
I held this role alongside my work at CPG Technologies. It taught me how large organisations manage risk, structure decisions and turn technical information into something leadership can act on.
