ABOUT PRAVEEN KUMAR SUBRAMANIAN

Your business runs on outdated spreadsheets and manual processes.Your CFO is worried about cyber risk but doesn\'t know where to start.Your board wants AI adoption but nobody has a roadmap.That\'s exactly where I come in.I\'m Praveen, Founder of Finstein. We help Enterprises and startups adopt AI, automation, and cybersecurity governance without the big-firm price tag or complexity.Before Finstein, I spent 15+ years in governance, risk, and technology advisory, including 5 years as a Director at Grant Thornton. I saw the same pattern everywhere: small and mid-size businesses needed the same calibre of advisory that Fortune 500 companies got, but couldn\'t afford the fees or navigate the complexity.So I built Finstein to fix that.Here\'s what that looks like in practice:→ Helped a mid-size NBFC automate their entire reconciliation process, cutting month-end close from 12 days to 3. Their CFO now has real-time visibility into cash positions instead of waiting for a spreadsheet to be emailed around.→ Designed a cybersecurity governance framework for a 150-person fintech that got them investor-ready in 90 days. They went from zero documented controls to a board-presentable risk dashboard.→ Built an AI adoption roadmap for a manufacturing SME that identified 4 high-impact use cases. Within 6 months, they reduced manual data entry by 60% and freed up their finance team for actual analysis.I hold a CA from ICAI and CISA from ISACA. I speak regularly at ISACA, IIA, and startup forums on AI governance, digital transformation for BFSI, and building cyber resilience on a budget.If you\'re an SME founder, CFO, or startup leader wondering how to bring AI, automation, or cyber governance into your business, I\'d love to chat.DM me \"READY\" and I\'ll share how Finstein can help you move forward.
