Rise2040

Good day,

I'm Venkat Pillai, Chief Financial Officer at SLK Global, a Dubai-headquartered enterprise engaged in vehicle sourcing, subcontracting, and leasing operations for defense infrastructure. I am based in Kochi, India.

I am a Fellow Member of CIMA (UK) and hold additional professional credentials as a Chartered Accountant (India and England & Wales), CPA Australia, and Certified Fraud Examiner (ACFE, USA).

I operate at the intersection of AI, geopolitics, finance, and sustainability - where the future is increasingly shaped by systemic interdependence.

Fun fact: I'm deeply interested in Spinoza, particularly his ideas on how external conditions shape human agency and decision-making.

Warm regards,
Venkat Pillai

Hello Everyone,

I am an FCMA, CGMA based in India (Bangalore), and also a Chartered Accountant with over three decades of experience across finance, IT governance, strategy, and corporate governance. My professional journey includes significant exposure to IT delivery, program management, and ERP implementations.

Currently, my focus is on building scalable finance functions, driving profitability, and enabling cross-border business structures. I am actively engaged in CFO advisory, business valuations, and developing ESG practices, while remaining open to opportunities where my experience can add strategic value.

I am keen to connect with fellow CIMA members for knowledge sharing, collaboration, and contributing to thought leadership in the evolving finance landscape.

I also work with global organizations to establish and optimize India-based delivery setups, enabling cost arbitrage alongside strong governance, quality, and operational efficiency.

I look forward to connecting and exploring meaningful collaborations.
