About

"To cross the ocean, one must always have the courage to loose sight of the shore". I have always believed in the above mantra and will always continue to do so, since the journey to achieve your goals only begins when you step out of your comfort zone! I currently work as a Corporate Strategy Manager at Birla Pivot (Aditya Birla Group), handling new venture creations and overall firm level strategic initiatives. Previously, I was in the Founder's office at Ximkart, a new-age manufacturing tech startup backed by Matrix Partners India, Multiply Ventures and other marquee investors. Prior to that, I was an Analyst at the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) in the Principal Investors and Private Equity (PIPE) practice area, with key focus on Commercial Due-diligence (CDD) and Vendor Due-diligence (VDD) projects across multiple sectors (Auto, Consumer, Healthcare, Fintech). My education background includes: An Undergraduate degree in Bachelor's of Commerce Professional (Finance Specialization) from Christ University, Bengaluru. I'm also a certified Chartered Global Management Accountant (cleared all 4 levels in the maiden attempt), accredited by The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), United Kingdom. My passion for Public Speaking is something that I've always carried right since high school, followed by my entry into Theatre, which I actively pursued during college. I'll be glad to connect with altruistic individuals and establish quality networks.
