After 25 years of Business & Finance Leadership experience in marquee companies
starting with Unilever, holding senior management roles at Murugappa Group, CFO
at Eicher and part of the Global Leadership Team at American Express, Ravi drew
his inspiration to become the first-generation entrepreneur in the Business
Services space. Given his pioneering global experience at American Express in
mid 1990s to establish the first ever offshore Global Financial Centreat Delhi,
he founded RvaluE Consulting in 2005 as a pioneer to offer end to end services
to strategize, set up, stabilize, operate and transform Captive Shared Services
in India and overseas. With 20+ years of Business Process Management (BPM)
experience, Ravi has now grown this company to become the RvaluE Group with
laser focus on the entire life cycle spectrum of the Business Services space,
covering enterprise functions and services strategy, process & technology
transformation, captive operations, and end to end solutions. As a Business
Leader at Amex Financial Centre, Ravi was integral to the growth of the Centre
to make it truly global - starting with countries in Japan, Asia Pacific, and
Australia (JAPA) Region, and expanding to servicing 30+ countries across all
continents in the globe. He enabled growth and globalization of the Business
Process Service operations in India creating ‘global centres of excellence’, for
major F&A processes (like Accounts Payable, Reconciliations, Accounting and
Reporting). He worked with customers across the globe, delivering over US$ 20 Mn
cost saves and value-added services, while leading several global initiatives
like Y2K Compliance, Capacity Optimization, Integrating Quality & Control, first
time Sox Compliance for the global US$160Bn Balance Sheet etc. Based on the
nucleus Finance Centre, Amex Global expanded offshoring to multiple functions
and high-end processes including Risk Management, Customer Service, Analytics,
Procurement, Real Estate, etc., thereby, making India as the second largest
country for American Express in terms of employees, next only to USA. In fact,
Amex GlobalCentre laid the foundation to create a new Industry in Global
Business Services for India including GE and other Fortune 500 corporations.
With India becoming the global hub for offshoring (through Amex in mid 90s) and
spreading the power of Shared Services in India (since 2005), RvaluE pioneered
Shared Services Forum to bring both global & India corporations and centres
together in an Industry Platform, and this combined collaborative power was for
the first time described and termed as ‘Global India’. Over the 16 years of
setting up RvaluE, Ravi has built the Group on the strong foundation of his 4
decades of corporate, professional and entrepreneurial experience, and the
expertise of the RvaluE Team to expand to multiple dimensions through Associate
Companies & Ventures across the Business Services Space – Advisory,Setting up
Captive Centres, Operations, Expansion, Process Transformation, Coaching,
Learning & Organizational Capabilities, SSF as Industry Platform, Frameworks,
