PARESH MADANI
The reason of being an independent girl and taking my own decision confidently is the person who played vital role in my journey named Paresh Madani. Without him I couldn’t reach here, and I would like to say to him ‘Thank you for everything’… He is one of the most generous persons and the best father like figure I know… He played a role of a father who always stands with his children. That time I was feeling alone and broken from inside, but he always motivated me to go further saying that everything will be fine and that’s the reason I became very strong to face any kind of challenge… He has done many things for my whole family and we are here only because of him. I learned many things … May he get peace and happiness in his life. I wish that I will serve him at the last breath of my life.

SVP & APAC Head of Payments, HSBC
I have now known Paresh for many years. He has been a Mentor, Guide and most importantly a very Good Friend to me. This goes back to 2005, when l joined Oracle Financial Software Services (OFSS … erstwhile i-flex solutions) as fresher from the university. Paresh was a clear standout amongst the various leaders and financial domain gurus at OFSS. As a fresher, I gained a lot from his global experiences in the financial services and his deep domain industry knowledge. I have been inspired by his leadership and coaching style and Paresh carries all of this in true humility. At the outset of our careers, he had seeded the value that corporate success can very much be achieved by acting upon the right values of life. Till today, Paresh remains my go to person whenever l need guidance. He with his immense experience and unique outlook towards life, has helped me change my perception and approach in dealing with a lot of difficult situations at work. This even at time when he personally had faced a lot of hardships in life. I thank and wish him well in life.

KAVITA MADANI
As CFO India Subcontinent I was responsible for hiring Kavita into the Country Finance organisation Prior to this I had interacted with her as she was part of the S R Batliboi (EY) team that was auditing Citibank India books.
Kavita impressed with her mature understanding of financial accounting as it was applied to a bank and with her strong interpersonal skills and friendly disposition. Layer she displayed a strong understanding of accounting policy control aspects and critical USGAAP principles. She interacted effectively with regional supervisory teams and her career registered steady progress as she performed a variety of senior roles including in overseas locations. The strong conceptual skills that she is endowed with coupled with her quick understanding of business problems makes her eminently suitable to perform with distinction in assignments in her areas of specialisation cutting across a variety of areas in Finance & Control Accounting Policy and Regulatory or Financial Reporting. In her stint with Citi she demonstrated a strong capability in all these areas that led to many positive outcomes for the organisation

I have known Kavita for a number of years now and have always been impressed with her work ethic and candor. She has the unique ability to both get into the weeds of a particular problem but also see the bigger picture and overall goal or requirement. She was tasked with the responsibility for a difficult, detailed, and time-consuming project, one that others had failed to complete. Her tenacity, attention to detail, and ability to see the overall needs of the project allowed to to successfully complete this project where others had failed.
I’d highly recommend Kavita for any project that requires creative and innovative solutions.

Michael Gobbo
Ex. Citigroup Tax Head – Asia-Pac
I worked with Kavita at Citi and she joined my team at a time when we needed a solid lead to address tax accounting issues and streamline various processes. Inspite of limited exposure to a specialist subject like tax, with accounting being her core, she chose to take up this role and I must say she did well to integrate in the team, learn the technical aspects and manage key stakeholders apart from focusing on tax accounting issues and process improvements. Kavita is a very enterprising worker with eye for detail and willingness to learn and take risks. She is also a assertive leader and speaks her mind to achieve the best for herself and the organisation. She has strong communication, management skills and interpretation skills and she makes the most of them in her areas of work. She can be a valuable asset for any organisation she works for. Overall I enjoyed working with her and I wish her the very best in all her endeavours
I’d highly recommend Kavita for any project that requires creative and innovative solutions.
