Quoting on the recognition, Anurag Bansal, CFO and Executive Board Member, DDB Mudra Group said, “Information technology (IT) has become a vital and integral part of every business plan. The adoption of IT in the function of finance has been growing at a rapid pace. The use of the technology has evolved from the basic accountancy platforms to the systems that are truly revolutionary in that they have forced change in the fundamental business procedures. Indeed, it is believed that more than being helped by technology, organizations will live by them, shaping strategy and helping executive boards to take calibrated decisions.”
