Principal consultant
Dr. Joydeep Mookerjee
FCA · FCMA · PhD. Thirty-five years as a finance leader in Indian and multinational companies, most of it as a Group CFO, in businesses from ₹200 crore to over ₹3,000 crore.
After three decades running finance functions, one pattern kept repeating.
Companies would arrive at ₹400 or ₹500 crore with accounts that were entirely accurate and entirely useless for making decisions. Nobody was doing anything wrong. The finance function had simply been built for a smaller, simpler business and never rebuilt.
And these companies could not fix it by hiring. A CFO good enough to matter costs ₹1.5 crore and will not join a company that does not yet have the systems to make the role work. So the problem persists until something forces the issue: usually a bank, an investor, or a cash crisis.
Shardip Stratevisors was set up to fill that gap.
