Enlightening people with my thoughts

A Little About Me

With over 25 years of experience in finance, I have now switched roles as a speaker and love to enlighten people about Foreign Affairs, Finance, Fitness and Fashion. My experience as a speaker is about addressing the need of the hour issues like the Cost of Terrorism in India and National Security.

My experience of 25 years in finance includes leadership roles at organisations like Goldman Sachs, Franklin Templeton, Axis Mutual, Aditya Birla Financial Services and Tata Finance. Most recently I served as Chief Business Officer at Axis Mutual Fund.

I currently sit on the boards of Edelweiss Asset Management, Prudent Corporate Advisory and Tamohara Investments as an Independent Director.
