About me: I hold a Bachelors in Technology with a specialisation in Telecommunications from the University of Mumbai.
Post-graduation, I worked with J.P. Morgan’s Investment Banking team for three years, primarily in Equity-Linked Capital Markets, across Mumbai and London. It was a lean team, and I really enjoyed working closely with senior bankers, gaining high levels of independence with hands-on involvement in marketing as well as execution on some of the most landmark transactions for equity-linked products in EMEA.
While I loved my time in Capital Markets, I realised I wanted to work more closely with companies on long-term strategic projects, particularly in M&A. With this goal in mind and a long-term aspiration to grow as a banker, I felt it was the right time to transition. It also aligned with my broader desire to attend business school at some point in my career.
I chose London Business School to broaden my knowledge of finance and expand my professional network across EMEA to best prepare for the next phase of my career. The School has been a fantastic fit, offering the opportunity to learn alongside people in finance from all over the world, each of whom brings a unique perspective and diverse insights.
Three topics I can be approached about: Photography; scuba diving; investment banking.
