About me: I’m originally from India, grew up in Qatar, and studied in the US before building a career across several different environments. I started out in data analytics and later worked at a fintech startup in India. Most recently, I spent five years in corporate strategy in Qatar, working across maritime, logistics and energy-related businesses.
I chose London Business School because I wanted to broaden my career options while studying in a genuinely international environment. I was particularly drawn to London, the diversity of the student body and the opportunity to learn from people with very different professional and personal backgrounds.
At London Business School, I’m involved in the Infrastructure and Construction Club, Energy and Environment Club, and Investment Management Club, including serving on the Executive Committees of the first two.
Outside the classroom, I enjoy stand-up comedy, plays and quizzes.
Three topics I can be approached about: Applying from the Middle East; navigating career transitions, energy and infrastructure.
