About Upendra Kumar
With over 18 years of experience in banking and risk management, I have diversified experience and deep insights into operational risk, fraud risk, internal controls, IFC & SOX, compliance, third-party risk management, legal and regulatory aspects, and retail banking. I hold several certifications from reputed institutions, such as GARP, ISACA, NIBM, IIBF, NCFM, IRDA, and AI Business School.I have successfully set up the ERM ORM TPRM FRM frameworks at multiple orgs, conducted periodic risk assessments, measured and monitored risk in line with the company\'s policies and procedures, drove risk awareness and implemented operational risk management practices across the enterprise. I also collaborate with cross-functional teams and help them identify their problems and solutions. Previously, I worked at Paytm and YES BANK, where I established and led the bank-wide COE for RPA and digital transformation projects, set up an early warning alert system for fraud prevention, and managed outsourcing risk from policy setup to implementation of tools for third-party risk management. I am passionate about leveraging technology and innovation to enhance risk management and business performance. I am also a gold medalist and alumni emissary for my MBA batch and an active member of the Alumni Advisory Board with the Fortune Institute of International Business.
