I currently manage all facets of taxation for UK and Europe and I am currently located in the UK. With increased challenges and complexities in the international tax domain I am placed to learn and at the same time have the practical experience in tax matters for Wipro.

Wipro Finance Cohort program is a great medium for collaboration among the upcoming Finance professionals . It gives a unique opportunity to interact with mentors who are experienced professionals in the field of Finance. It helps the various teams in Finance to ideate , learn from each other and enrich knowledge.

I handle Direct taxation for Wipro Limited. Wipro Limited being the parent entity, consolidates all the subsidiaries and branches that Wipro has globally. This role requires me to be involved in quarter provision work for entire Wipro Limited group, tax return, tax audit related works, advance tax workings, tax assessments, appeals & litigations, structuring of various deals and businesses from Taxation point of view, etc. I have also had the opportunity to work as a Service Line BFM in India and ME team for about 1.5 years and in International taxation team for about 1 year.

Cohorts is a platform which enables a person to be able to interact with various people across the Finance function (one can interact with anyone without any hesitation), one can get to know how the leaders think on any given situation or a topic & build practical knowledge in areas of work where the person would not have worked earlier. There is role rotation feature as well which enables a person to be able to see multiple roles with in a short span of 2-3 years after joining.

Business Finance Manager for the ‘Service Line - Consulting Services'. It involves revenue estimation and revenue closure for the service line, along with pricing of consulting resources in deals.

'Learn and equip as you work' – is how I would tag Cohorts - Learning becomes so inevitable in this program. With the mandated role change, within the initial 2 years in Wipro, you get a fair idea of business and also understand how central finance functions work. So, I would recommend it for anyone wanting a total and rounded exposure backed with boundless learning.

Currently, I am engaged as a GBL Business Finance Manager (BFM) for Apps & Data domain, where I closely monitor the cost across various internal portfolios. I worked on GBL revenue closure and target setting along with achievement computation for sales team as part of incentive payments.

Cohorts program helps finance fresher’s to be in touch with subject and practically solve the real life scenario case studies as a team. This enables team building along with knowing multiple perspectives on the topic.
