Senior Strategic Consultant | Transformation and Governance Leader

Digital Transformation | Core Banking | Strategic Advisory | Financial Infrastructure Modernisation

Indrajit Roy Choudhury is a senior transformation leader with more than three decades of experience strengthening financial institutions, modernising core banking platforms, and driving digital innovation across India and Iraq. His career spans mission‑critical modernisation of Tier‑1 banking systems, enterprise ERP recovery, cross‑border payments integration, and strategic advisory for global consulting firms.

As Chief Financial Officer of Shandz Group of Companies, Indrajit led financial governance, multi‑entity consolidation, and enterprise‑wide process standardisation while steering one of the organisation’s most critical transformation programmes—the recovery and redesign of its Odoo ERP implementation. Under his leadership, the delayed ERP programme was revitalised through a complete overhaul of workflows, approval hierarchies, and financial controls, resulting in a secure, auditable, and scalable platform deployed across multiple business entities. His dual capability in finance leadership and enterprise transformation positions him uniquely for board roles requiring both strategic oversight and operational discipline.

Indrajit has modernised Finacle, Misys Equation, Oracle, and Temenos platforms across major institutions, enhancing regulatory compliance, scalability, and operational resilience. His work has delivered measurable outcomes including reduced operating costs, accelerated digital adoption, expanded regional payment corridors, and multi‑billion‑dollar asset growth. At the Trade Bank of Iraq, he architected omni‑channel digital banking platforms that shifted corporate clients toward digital‑first models, driving significant adoption and reducing branch dependency.

His advisory engagements with Deloitte, Cedar Management Consulting, and Xaid have shaped digital bank feasibility, core banking modernization pathways, and AI‑driven trade finance adoption—ensuring regulatory alignment, commercial viability, and execution readiness. A strong advocate of innovation anchored in sound governance, Indrajit believes sustainable transformation requires disciplined execution, capable institutions, and a culture of continuous improvement.

Beyond his institutional work, Indrajit is an author and commentator whose writings explore both the technical dimensions of banking reform and the human stories behind institutional change. His perspectives offer rare insight into one of the most transformative periods in modern Iraqi banking history.

Indrajit holds an M.Sc. in Mathematics and a B.Sc. (Honours) in Mathematics from the University of Delhi, and is a recipient of the His Holiness the Pope Scholarship for academic excellence. He has completed multiple certifications in digital transformation, reputation risk, financial markets, ISO quality auditing, and foreign exchange management.

He brings to boards a distinctive blend of financial leadership, transformation expertise, and governance insight—ideal for institutions seeking strategic guidance on digital transformation, financial infrastructure, enterprise systems, and long‑term capability building.
