The CFOs Behind India's Biggest IT Companies

India's IT services giants are among the most closely watched companies in the market, and their CFOs manage a distinctive set of challenges.

The IT services finance mandate

Margin discipline is everything in a people-heavy, competitive business. Add currency management (much of the revenue is offshore), large-scale capital return through buybacks and dividends, and constant analyst scrutiny of growth guidance, and the role becomes highly specialised.

What to research

For an IT CFO, look at how they've defended margins through wage inflation and pricing pressure, their approach to capital allocation, and their credibility on guidance. Tenure through a demand cycle is informative.

Open the current profile

CFOs change, so the reliable move is to read the live profile. Search any listed IT company for its CFO to see compensation, KPI drivers and board influence sourced from filings.
