Hi, I’m Pravenkumar. I’ve been with Vishwamitra for over 13 years and currently serve as Accounting Manager in Dubai. In my role, I oversee financial operations, ensuring accurate reporting, compliance, and effective management of accounts. One of my most recent proudest achievements was successfully implementing the Vishwamitra ERP system, Entersoft, which streamlined our reporting/procurement accuracy and helped me manage my time for the better.

Outside of work, I enjoy watching movies, collecting aquarium fish, and spending time with my puppy. Some of my favorite movies include Mission Impossible and Jurassic Park.

I stay motivated by the challenges of VAT, corporate tax, and adapting to new systems as Dubai keeps advancing, it pushes me to keep learning and improving. The best advice I’ve received is to focus on solutions rather than problems, and I believe in fully disconnecting during time off to return recharged and productive.
