Sr. Operations Manager
Shantanu Mane
Sr. Operations Manager | ACCA – Finalist
I’m a commerce and finance graduate (B.Com + ACCA in progress), working as a Senior Operations Manager. I care about clear systems, organized processes, and getting things done right. Not for show, but because that works.
I’ve always had a thing for numbers, markets, and understanding why the world moves the way it does. That naturally pulled me into finance, but over time I got just as interested in tech — programming, automation, and anything that makes my work cleaner, smarter and easier.
Outside work, I’m either moving or reading — trekking, long runs, and the occasional marathons keep me grounded, and when I slow down, I’m usually deep in books on Fiction, psychology, self-help or finance
Put simply: I’m someone who values logic, discipline, and long-term thinking and I keep learning, adapting, and building. If you want someone who understands both markets and machines, who balances finance sense with tech curiosity, that’s me!
