About me: Originally from Mumbai, India, I studied Accounting and Finance in my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. Over the last seven years, I’ve worked in equity research and investment management, covering healthcare and industrials, most recently at J.P. Morgan. I am passionate about finance and I plan to continue my career in equity investing after completing the One-year MBA programme at LBS.
I chose LBS because of its highly diverse cohort, strong alumni network and world-class faculty teaching a wide range of interesting courses across finance, economics and tech. The One-year MBA programme interested me the most because of its curated and accelerated core curriculum. It is embedded with sustainability and offers fresh perspectives while covering fundamentals across disciplines and leaving ample room for electives over the remaining three terms.
I was also eager to pursue an MBA in a global finance hub like London, which offers an enriching experience and easy access to industry practitioners.
Captivated by the city’s rich cultural heritage, I love visiting museums and new restaurants in my free time.
Three topics I can be approached about: Finance; moving to London; academics at LBS.
