Candidate:
Ms. Unconventional Background
About Me:
Coming from an unconventional background for a US MBA, I always focussed actively on not optimising my profile for an MBA. I rather focused on experiencing industries, work and problems that excite me, whether or not it made sense for my “story”. And in retrospect, I am thankful I did that.

Big Life Wins:
Growing up I was fortunate enough to have people around me who made me cognitive of the struggles and impact I could create and I was specifically interested in helping the women. I enabled 50+ women in my hometown who were qualified but didn’t know the means to earn to create a living for them by setting up small businesses.
Post MBA Goal:
I want to further my efforts in empowering the people of India and South & South East Asia to achieve the level of development their western counterparts see. I want to use my experience in fintech to enable the underserved population with financial services and products to elevate their living standards and help the growing economy around them.
