   I lead Governance, Risk & Controls (GRC) at CARS24, with a mandate to build risk-resilient, compliant, and scalable operating models in a high-growth environment.My work sits at the intersection of regulatory compliance, internal controls, investigations, and governance, ensuring that risk management scales alongside the business without becoming bureaucratic or reactive. I focus on embedding governance into core operations, using data, analytics, and automation to proactively identify issues and drive accountability.Key areas I work on- Designing and strengthening enterprise governance and control frameworks- Building analytics-led risk and investigation models at scale- Driving compliance, audits, and regulatory readiness across markets- Managing complex investigations and misconduct cases with fairness and rigour- Partnering with leadership to balance growth, risk, and cost disciplineI believe strong governance is measured not by policies on paper, but by how effectively risks are identified, investigated, and resolved. Governance works best when it is designed into systems rather than layered on later, creating scalable, auditable, and operationally practical frameworks that stand up under pressure.
