A seasoned Finance Leader with over three decades of experience across FMCG, Medical Devices, Industrial Engineering, and Steel. I believe in driving sustainable business growth by maintaining a strong balance sheet, ensuring adequate liquidity to fund expansion, and proactively hedging financial and business risks.
My approach combines financial discipline with strategic foresight—enabling businesses to pursue growth opportunities with confidence, build resilience, optimise capital allocation, and create long-term stakeholder value.
I was CFO of Hamilton Housewares from January 2018 until 9 November 2026, when I step out to start two ventures, Quantelion and Vision9Strategies (incubated by Quantelion). During my tenure, the group, home to Milton, Treo, Pro Cook, SpotZero and Claro, tripled its turnover, while maintaining double-digit profitability. I oversaw the group’s financial strategy, funding new plants in cookware, steel and plastic, through internal accruals. I was responsible for finance, accounts, taxation, legal, IT and secretarial functions across all group companies, including the family office.
Before that I was CFO of B. Braun Medical India and Ahlcon Parenterals and a director of Oyster Medisafe, where I led two acquisitions, one of them a listed company under the new takeover code, turned the Chennai plant cash-positive, and built the first public-private partnership model in dialysis by setting up 60 dialysis centres with the Government of India. Earlier I worked with Ingersoll Rand, Suhail Bahwan Group in Oman, Cadbury India, Tata Steel, ECE Industries and ITC.
My approach is practical. Be a sounding board to the promoter. Build the team that the next stage of growth will need. Protect the company from external threats. Keep funds flowing at the lowest possible cost, keep the effective tax rate below 20 percent, and hold the margin through steady cost reduction and disciplined inventory.

Colleagues
In their words
As a CFO, Supriyo balances the needs of the business on one hand and tight fiscal control on the other very deftly. His capability in sifting through large amounts of data to arrive at the right analysis is one of the best I have experienced. A tough but principled task-master, he likes to lead by example.
Aditya BanerjeeDirector and Deputy Country Head, B. Braun Medical India
Supriyo is a highly motivated leader with a proven track record of success. He is dedicated to the business from a finance and control position, but also understands and supports the customer's viewpoint. He is proactive in managing his staff and listens to learn from those around him.
Brad MartinVP Finance, Ingersoll Rand Climate Control Technologies, who managed Supriyo directly
Supriyo's greatest asset is knowledge-based leadership. His knowledge was sought on a day-to-day basis. What impressed me was his genuineness and ability to relate with people. No matter what, there will always be one person carrying a smile and ready to stand by you.
Dilip Ranjan SahooHead of Human Resources, Ingersoll Rand
A one-man army who can administer various facets of an organisation single-handedly. At B. Braun he takes care of finance, tax, tenders, contracts, litigation, mergers and acquisitions. For Supriyo the clock stops ticking when he is at work.
Akhil BhansaliAttorney, tax, banking and business litigation; worked with Supriyo at B. Braun
A very focussed, detail-oriented, hard-working professional who is always ready to extend help to colleagues. He was regarded as the subject matter expert on management accounting within Tata Steel during my tenure there.
Rajesh DagaGroup Financial Controller, Tata Power; colleague at Tata Steel
I worked with Supriyo on strategic planning and development projects over two years for Ingersoll Rand's Climate Control Technologies India business. He combines credible financial expertise with strong business fundamentals and people management skills.
Seetha SasikalaStrategic and operational management; colleague at Ingersoll Rand
I manage my own investment portfolio and research systematic strategies in Nifty index options, testing every rule on years of five-minute market data before it earns capital. I share that work on YouTube at QUANTELION (@quantelion9). Away from the desk I trek and shoot digital photography.
