My Story

Although I belong from Rajasthan, but I was born in a a small town in Gujarat and completed my schooling across various towns/cities in Gujarat. I always disliked Biology, which led me to pursue Engineering from NIT Surat. From there I joined Futures First – trading US bonds and interest rates markets which I could relate to and thoroughly enjoyed. This also gave me exposure to the world of finance. It led me to do my MBA in Finance from SP Jain and since then I have been a banker. In between my various banking stints, I also started and scaled my own venture in women’s fashion wear. I love to play/watch sports and read fiction, sports biographies, and other books.   

How I got into investment banking?

It was pure happenstance that I got into Investment Banking, I joined my first job as an equity research analyst and after 1 year with the company they decided to move a bunch of us to other roles and I decided to try my hands at Investment Banking.
