A financial planning tool for a diversified conglomerate

Context

Aditya Birla is one of India’s largest diversified conglomerates. The engagement is a financial planning tool, begun in 2025 and still running.

Leadership & decisions

Requirement gathering as the first deliverable. As with the group’s other enterprise planning work, the brief was established in conversation with the client rather than handed over — which makes the early weeks a discovery exercise rather than a build.

One person owning the client conversation. Stakeholder communication in a large organisation fragments quickly across functions. Keeping it in one pair of hands is what stops a tool built for finance from quietly becoming a tool built for whoever spoke last.

Outcome

A financial planning tool in delivery for a conglomerate, with the engagement ongoing.
