I have worked with Anand over the last seven years during my tenure at BMI Bank. I have found him to be a very effective no.2 in the finance department. He was instrumental in ensuring that the day to day activities were taken care of in a timely manner and after adherence to strict quality standards. There were several challenges faced by the department. His methodical and process oriented approach, problem solving skills and hardworking ability were critical in solving these issues. He handled various projects within finance including the implementation and migration of three major information systems (core banking, financial control & accounting and financial / MIS reporting). He has assisted me in implementing and streamlining numerous processes and controls surrounding the deliverables from finance department. He is a good team player, has strong people management skills and is capable of functioning efficiently in a cross-functional team. The ability to understand the requirements of various stake holders (including the various business units, bank’s top management, regulators, etc.) and deliver accordingly was a key aspect of his performance
