My journey so far:

Business isn't just a career for me; it's practically in my DNA. Growing up in a Sindhi business family in India, I was always surrounded by conversations about scaling businesses and understanding market dynamics. My early exposure to the world of commerce sparked a keen interest in finance, which led me to study Financial Markets at one of Mumbai's leading colleges. During this time, I also earned my Chartered Wealth Management certification, deepening my understanding of financial markets and investment strategies.

I gained hands-on experience in business development and strategic growth through our family's textile business, where I lead a vertical integration into garment manufacturing by leveraging our goodwill and existing supplier relationships. To broaden my horizons and understand finance on a global scale, I moved to the UK to pursue an MSc in Finance at Loughborough University. Though the UK was a world away from what I knew, it has provided me with a valuable global perspective on business and finance.

Following my masters, I joined a high-growth startup in Cambridge as Financial Controller, while simultaneously pursuing my ACCA qualification to further strengthen my professional expertise. It's a role that lets me wear many hats, a challenge in which I thrive, working across multiple business functions from finance and operations to developing product and business strategies. I'm passionate about leveraging technology to drive business efficiency, which has led me to develop expertise in new software, data analysis, SQL, and Power BI. I believe in continuous adaptation and growth. Currently, I'm exploring AI-driven automation to enhance operational efficiency, always looking for innovative ways to drive business transformation.
