About Parul Saraswat

I build products and data solutions that solve complex enterprise finance problems, currently at Deloitte, delivering SAP CO transformations for Fortune 500 clients in FMCG and Aerospace & Defense, end-to-end, from requirement gathering to go-live.What makes my profile unusual: I combine deep SAP CO/FICO functional expertise with a product manager\'s instinct for ownership and delivery, and I actively use agentic AI : Claude, Chat-GPT, and GitHub Copilot, as real working tools, not buzzwords. I use them daily to automate requirement analysis, generate test scripts, draft functional specs, and accelerate data validation. The result:~15% reduction in manual effort across testing cycles and faster, sharper delivery.What I\'ve delivered: For a leading American FMCG giant — designed and operationalized the SAP CO enterprise structure from the ground up: controlling areas, cost centers, CO-PA cycles, KE28 top-down distribution, Control-M batch jobs (daily/weekly/monthly), new plant onboarding, and period-end close support. For an American Aerospace & Defense conglomerate — acting as product owner for an employee cost calculation module, translating complex payroll, timesheet (CATS), leave-of-absence, and overhead rules into a working cost engine. Led requirement workshops, authored functional specs, and managed SIT/UAT across 700+ variants and 60+ weekly iterations. Across both: 98% incident SLA closure rate · 20% faster task completion · global team of 14 · Rising Star Award & Applause Award at Deloitte · 105% PYTD utilization.My toolkit:SAP CO · SAP FICO · SAP Build · Power BI · Python · Azure · RStudio · Jira · Control-M · Claude · Chat-GPT · GitHub Copilot · Excel, Product Management, Business Analysis, Requirements Gathering, Stakeholder ManagementWhat I\'m looking for:I\'m open to Product Manager, Business Analyst, and Data Analyst roles where I can bring together analytical rigor, stakeholder-facing delivery, and AI-augmented ways of working. Ideally in enterprise tech, consulting, strategy or any domain that values structured thinking and data-driven decision-making.A few things that make me tick: I\'ve trained 70+ colleagues on SAP CO-PA, led a firm-wide research study on veteran hiring presented to Deloitte executives, and once generated INR in revenue in 30 days through sheer cold outreach. I like solving hard problems, communicating clearly, and building things that last.
