A decade at the intersection of finance and AI.
With over a decade of cross-border experience in Financial Reporting, Audit, International Taxation and Finance Outsourcing, Dhaval has transitioned into one of the most influential voices at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and the Finance profession.
He has personally trained more than 15,000 Chartered Accountants, CPAs and professionals across India, Singapore, East Africa and the Middle East — including through ICAI's flagship AI certification programme. His corporate AI training portfolio includes some of the world's largest enterprises: Larsen & Toubro, Bajaj Finance, Indian Oil, Eicher Group, HCG Group, NPCI and Cricut Group.
His signature methodology begins with a process review to identify the "cost of inefficiency" — penalties, reconciliation delays, reporting bottlenecks — and then designs AI-powered solutions that deliver measurable ROI within the first quarter of implementation.
