Some companies make an impact by saving people money. Others save people’s money. Meet Sujata Dasgupta, who is safeguarding your savings by helping banks prevent fraud and detect financial crime.

Why preventing Financial Crimes is important

Preventing financial crimes isn’t just about money. It’s also about protecting our society and planet from the disastrous impacts of crimes like drug trafficking, human trafficking, child abuse, environmental crimes like illicit wildlife trade, illegal mining, and others that threaten the ecological balance and biodiversity.

Tech revolution in financial crime prevention

In the past 5 to 7 years, financial crime prevention has seen a tech revolution. Criminals now use advanced tech like “ransomware as a service,” “synthetic voice cloning,” and even ChatGPT to their advantage.

As the Head of Financial Crime Risk and Compliance Advisory for Tata Consultancy Services, Sujata helps banks prevent fraud and detect money laundering.

In this episode of Women Disrupting Tech

In the latest episode of Women Disrupting Tech, she explains how she finds inspiration in preventing crimes so that the money can be used for the greater good.

In addition, she explains why having diverse teams can make this job easier and argues that we should not talk about female tech professionals but about tech professionals. Because Sujata believes that any professional in tech – irrespective of gender – who has the skill, creativity, and passion can contribute to making this world a better place.

In my podcast Women Disrupting Tech, I give a platform to the women who work in tech so they can be a role model for others. The goal is to promote more diversity, equity and inclusion in the tech sector. I believe that this will lead to better solutions to the three problems of our time: the climate crisis, exploding demand for healthcare services and poverty.
