Jayasri Kandeepan

Jayasri is the chief finance officer of the company and oversees the finance, books and accounts of their diversified business operations.

A seasoned finance professional, Jayasri is qualified as a chartered accountant from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, and as a company secretary from the Institute of Company Secretaries of India.

Frightfully fond of numbers as a child, Jayasri was the proverbial frontbencher, acing all her tests and exams to the moon and back, and turning out a consistent topper in school and university.

Jayasri’s journey with CHC began as early as 2010 as a founding director of Healthwatch, before which she was heading the business banking team for northern India for ICICI Bank, India’s largest private bank at the time of writing, for more than seven years. She had also served in the international banking division of Standard Chartered Bank for about three years.

With a strong grounding in financial diligence, contingency planning and monetary sagacity, she ensures that they remain fiercely independent, self-reliant, debt free and nimble to take on ambitious growth plans without being hamstrung by the burden of financial liabilities or inclement risks.

Her astuteness and equanimity, drawn from her monumental experience in pecuniary matters, is ultimately key to them being able to practise the philosophy that the best missions are those that lead to the benefit of all at the expense of none.
