Profile - Vipin KT

• What has your experience been with our company culture?

The values that everyone here embodies are truly inspiring. An individual is respected. A growth mindset is always in focus and you are encouraged to take every opportunity available for your professional growth. I also like the importance given to work-life balance and the motivation given to everyone who performs well. Though I am a Finance & Accounting (F&A) professional, the leads here encourage me to learn about Cloud and DevOps, which will help me understand and become better at my work.

• What are some things you’ve noticed about our leadership team?

I admire their helpful nature, patience to answer any question I may have and the clarity in letting me know what they require from me. I am especially grateful for their generosity and encouragement in mentoring me.

• What have been your biggest accomplishments on our team?

I coordinated and completed the audit and financials for the financial year 2020-21. I also took complete responsibility to ensure the full unaudited financials for the year are ready well in advance of the deadline.

• Who are some of your biggest inspirations within the company?

Sarada, Director – Operations, is a woman lead I am tremendously inspired by for effortlessly playing so many roles. Our CEO Vaithee, who is also my manager, is another person I admire.

• What kinds of resources have you taken advantage of while on our team?

I have explored and learnt about many aspects of my responsibilities, be it statutory guidelines or transactional processes. I was able to research online and provide clarifications to the external audit team when they needed information from us.

• What are three words you would use to describe CloudifyOps?

Best space for learning, opportunity, growth

• How have you grown professionally while on our team?

The biggest growth for me is the confidence I have gained in myself and my professional capabilities, after a break of 5 years. I have proved to myself that I can handle any request or requirement to completion without any major challenges.

• How do you define success?

Success differs from person to person. To me, it represents an accomplishment that is connected to my professional growth.

• What advice would you give to someone who wants to enter this field?

Be it any job, the individual should have a basic understanding of what they are expected to do in the role. If you are aspiring to be an F&A professional, deciding the area of specialization is important (Accounts Receivables, Accounts Payable, Budgeting, Taxation, etc.) and then continuously upskill yourself.

• What is the one thing you learned in the last month related to your work?

I am always learning something new. There isn’t anything substantially big to highlight here.

• What has been your favorite project so far?

Managing F&A single handedly for a company is a huge and ongoing project. My favorite aspect of this project is successfully delivering on all that is expected of me on a daily, monthly and yearly basis.

• What motivates you to wake up and go to work?

My passion for Finance and Accounting

• What is on your wish list for the next 10 years with CloudifyOps?

I want CloudifyOps to be a successful and well known brand in the industry.
