About me: I am originally from Mauritius and hold a bachelors in Business Management from the University of Exeter and a masters in Entrepreneurship from University College London. Over the past four years, I’ve worked at the intersection of technology and investing, helping innovative companies grow through strategic capital deployment.
Prior to embarking on the One-year MBA, I worked as an investment manager at Republic, a global investment platform with over $2.6 billion deployed across private markets. In this role, I helped structure and execute investments in high-growth startups across climate tech, B2B software as a service (SaaS), fintech and blockchain.
I am now pursuing the One-year MBA programme at LBS to deepen my expertise in growth-stage investing, M&A and venture creation across emerging markets. LBS’s global community, strength in finance and dynamic entrepreneurial network make it the ideal place to advance my professional and personal growth.
Outside of my studies, I enjoy padel, kitesurfing and exploring emerging technologies and new venture opportunities in developing markets.
Three topics I can be approached about: Venture capital; tech; emerging markets.
