Shruti is a global leader shaping the future of Open Banking in Canada. With deep roots in financial services across South East Asia, the Middle East, and North America, she brings a uniquely global lens to building inclusive, scalable frameworks that drive real economic impact.

A trusted voice in the industry, she has not only authored white papers and spoken on global stages – she also amplifies untold stories through her podcast The Sunkissed Souls, where courage, reinvention, and resilience take centre stage.

As a mentor with Women in Open Banking and Microsoft Women in Tech, and co-chair of CIBC’s International Professionals Network, she champions access, equity, and non-linear pathways to leadership.

Whether in boardrooms or behind the mic, her mission is the same: build a future where everyone has a seat at the table – and the power to own their story.
