40+ CFOs and finance leaders came together to discuss how AI and automation are reshaping the CFO’s role — from cost control to strategy.

CFOs and finance leaders from companies like BrowserStack, Udaan, and United Breweries came together for a high-context session on the future of finance.
The event opened with Shekhar Kirani reframing the modern CFO as a strategic enabler — owning metrics, productivity, and business foresight. A panel moderated by Aiswarya Sarangapani and led by Amit Jhunjhunwala featured Vikash Sureka, Kiran Thadimarri, and Meeta Aggarwal, who unpacked the finance stack for scale: from ERP adoption and automation to in-house compliance and AI-powered workflows. The room aligned on one thing — in a fast-changing environment, automation isn’t a lever. It’s the baseline.
