Bio
Dilip Keshu
When writing a recommendation, one has to pick words that are not overused (like team player and hard working), especially if the person being recommended is very good. Chitra is such a person - she is quite simply a star. Meticulous, knowledgeable and a slog-artist, she fixed our finance department which was in a mess after we did an acquisition. I frankly think we would have been in serious trouble without her timely help. We are very grateful to her for what she did. She has a kind disposition but is tough as nails where it matters. She is an outstanding exec. She will always have a place in our company if she chooses to return.

Chitra began reporting to me when we acquired Figleaves. During the following months Chitra prepared the completion accounts, built revised plans for the business as part of the wider Group, managed the process of migration to Group Systems and reporting at the same time as managing the day to day Finance function. I found Chitra to be very dilligent and honest. She demonstrated strong technical knowledge and was equally able to focus on detail or business wide issues.
