About Rashmi Dastidar

I am a regulatory risk and ethical business practices\' professional with 18 years’ experience in tech, manufacturing and retail industries and risk consulting firms experience at Deloitte and Control Risks. I’m passionate about developing strong risk and compliance practices for businesses in emergent markets, overseeing strategic, operational, people, security, ESG, fraud and compliance risks in complex manufacturing and service sector environments with strong people and leadership skills, with demonstrated ability in building motivated teams delivering high performance. I have cross industry experience spanning services, manufacturing and consulting with leading blue chip organisations.I also support companies with risk mitigation advice and profile-specific risk frameworks and help integrate risk strategy into operations. In my last role, I worked as the Chief Risk and Compliance Officer at MMTC-PAMP India Pvt Ltd (MPIPL), a JV between Switzerland-based MKS group (global leader in precious metals) and MMTC India. MPIPL is the market leading refiner of precious metals in India, with India’s largest gold refinery with revenues of USD 6bn, and annual output of over 150 tonnes and India’s market leading digital gold player with over 70m customers. I was hired by the Chairman of the company in December 2017 to set up an independent risk function, reporting into a board-driven risk committee, with the mandate of enabling management transition. This ranged from putting in place strong compliance, audit and risk frameworks across the organization to investigating and clearing contingent liabilities, employee fraud and leakages. In my role, I set up a Board-delegated Risk Committee, with direct reporting to the Chair of Risk Committee and built a risk and compliance vertical for the organization while engaging with stakeholders to ensure risk and compliance became an enabler of business while significantly de-risking the company.Before joining MPIPL, I was at Deloitte where I was hired by the Head of Forensics division within the Financial Advisory Services vertical to manage key MNCs and PE client accounts seeking forensic and due diligence advice for critical investments. I was the single point of contact for key client projects, managing multiple teams to deliver bespoke risk mitigation service for e-com giants, PE players, metal and liquor sector operators. At Control Risks, I supported clients facing corruption investigations, provided crisis management support, and developed and implemented robust fraud prevention programmes for clients.
