About Soumavo Dutta

A data-driven professional with hands-on experience in financial analytics, payment process optimisation, and automation-led reconciliation for large-scale eCom operations. My career has been shaped by a passion for transforming raw data into meaningful insights that enhance decision-making, operational efficiency, and financial accuracy.At Flipkart Grocery, I played a pivotal role in streamlining partner payment systems and implementing brand-centric financial strategies, contributing to ~2× business growth in FY 2023–24. By aligning analytical insights with business priorities, I helped improve working capital efficiency, strengthen partner satisfaction, and drive measurable impact on profitability.My technical toolkit includes Power BI, SQL, DAX, Python, and Advanced Excel, which I’ve used to develop real-time dashboards, automated reconciliation systems, and discrepancy detection frameworks. These tools helped reduce manual effort, eliminate redundancies, and improve transparency in end-to-end payment tracking. I also integrated AI-powered automation tools and data validation models to enhance accuracy and speed in reporting workflows.A key achievement was driving a 30–40% reduction in debit note generation, which technically contributes as a negative adjustment in the P&L statement, by performing deep root-cause analysis, Pareto-based segmentation, and automated dashboard development for price- and quantity-related debit notes. This initiative enhanced financial accuracy and control, shortened reconciliation timelines from half-yearly to quarterly, and strengthened cross-functional collaboration across finance, category, and operations teams.I strongly believe in the power of data storytelling — turning complex data into actionable business narratives. My approach combines analytical reasoning, visual insights, and AI-assisted intelligence to uncover patterns, identify inefficiencies, and support strategic planning.Recognised for my problem-solving skills, adaptability, and growth mindset, I continuously explore emerging AI tools, predictive analytics, and automation frameworks that can revolutionize financial operations. My long-term goal is to bridge the gap between data, technology, and business strategy — creating sustainable systems that empower organisations to make smarter, faster, and more transparent financial decisions.
