Syed Safi Sarwar - ACA

During my work experience with Farjad at EY, I found him a logical-minded personality who actively drives energy through performance delivery. His skill to visualize in the right direction coupled with dedication and consistency makes him a highly suitable candidate for the corporate world. I saw in him a thrust to make an impact within the functional organization while operating out of his comfort zone. He keeps himself evolving, and that is why he has achieved on many fronts at an early stage of his career. I wish him good luck in his future endeavors.

Farjad is an amazing person to work with. He is very solution oriented with exceptional problem solving skills and always commited to impart knowledge to other members of the team. Farjad’s deeper understanding of the technical nuances always helped us during the tough time of our assignments. He always strives for excellence and does whatever it take to get the job done. Any one would be lucky to have him as a manager.

      During my time in Pepsi I got to learn about administration of funds as most challenging task in any FMCG is to manage the daily cash flows, their optimum utilization and to incorporate the impact, in advance, for any predictable/unanticipated fluctuations in the operating cash flows (i.e. non-season/Lower collections). I prepared monthly cash flow budgets in line with annual and monthly (both) targets of the marketing department (in-flows) and major raw material, admin and selling disbursements (Out-Flows) in collaboration with respective departments including banking team. These cash flow targets were chased on daily basis and any in-flow shortfall than budget was managed through comprehensive brainstorming and dialogue with Marketing and Payable sections for prioritization.
