About Wildefy
Hymakar Valluri
Founder, Wildefy · Chartered Accountant (ACA) · Cost Accountant (CMA), ICAI
The Story
Two careers that turned out to be one.
Hymakar Valluri spent 27 years in senior finance leadership — CFO and finance leader across FMCG, telecom, retail, healthcare and education at Hindustan Unilever, Vodafone, United Breweries (Heineken), Landmark Group and Gulf Marketing Group. He led multi-geography, multi-cultural teams across India and the Gulf, and became known less for the numbers than for taking performers others had written off and turning them around. In parallel, he spent two decades on expedition photography across six continents — Svalbard, Rwanda, Kamchatka, Brazil, Ecuador, Borneo — earning 100+ international honours including National Geographic recognition and Better Photography Photo of the Year.
Wildefy is where both careers meet: real field encounters, told honestly, used to teach performance, leadership and resilience to people who lead teams for a living.
Why Hymakar
What he brings to a learning audience
Leads people, not just numbers
27 years in finance leadership — but known for taking performers others had written off and turning them around.
Multi-geography, multicultural
Has built trust and pulled teams together across India and the Gulf, where working norms differ room to room.
Resilience, built rather than preached
Has led teams through transformation and pressure, focused on making them steadier — not simply pushing harder.
Material no one else has
Two decades and six continents of his own fieldwork, 100+ international honours. Not a borrowed framework with stock imagery.
