In a gala event hosted by CFO India magazine in Mumbai, Anurag Bansal, chief financial officer and executive board member, DDB Mudra Group was awarded by the 5th Annual CFO100 Roll of Honour.
The CFO100 is an annual initiative to distinguish India's finance leader's extraordinary contributions to the corporate world. CFO India magazine identifies and brings together 100 CFOs, who are standouts in their field, to honour their achievements in areas including cost management, raising capital, green initiatives, risk management, governance and strategy. The CFO100 is an annual benchmark for rising stars among India's CFOs.
The jury for this year’s honour included 12 names from senior management teams of various multinational organisations.
Bansal was awarded with the recognition under the ‘Integration of Technology’ category along with financial heads from Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Company Limited, Bharti Axa Life Insurance Company Limited, Birla Sunlife Insurance, Phoenix ARC Private Limited, JBM Auto Limited, SLK Group, iMerit Technology Services and Anudip Foundation, Sansera Engineering Private Limited, Mahindra & Mahindra Limited, Johnson & Johnson Medical and Vodafone India Limited.
This year, Bansal was the only awardee from the marketing communication fraternity.
Quoting on the recognition, Bansal said: “Information technology (IT) has become a vital and integral part of every business plan. The adoption of IT in the function of finance has been growing at a rapid pace."
"The use of the technology has evolved from the basic accountancy platforms to the systems that are truly revolutionary in that they have forced change in the fundamental business procedures. Indeed, it is believed that more than being helped by technology, organisations will live by them, shaping strategy and helping executive boards to take calibrated decisions,” he added.
