The young (b. 1978), attractive, pleasing and intelligent Director of BIFM believes that excellence is a state of mind that is represented in our actions. As she says: “Change the way you think and you will change the results. There is a need for excellence in all that we do, whether it is painting a live-sketch, creating a life within a womb or bringing up an organization as a family, ie, with love and concern.”
Excellence thus starts with a positive self-esteem and leads to positive and productive action. If we feel good from within, it shows outside. It’s reflected further in our actions. We constantly need to personally and professionally outdo our performances.
It is her vision that has created educational avenues in the world of financial planning. She has successfully initiated ‘I-Score’ a startup venture in Financial Markets, and is today the leading financial training provider for Investment Banking and Research careers. Business dynamism made her roar ahead with long-term courses in financial planning and wealth management, and she also heads the project that collaborates with CFPCM, financial planning’s highest global standard. Her education with economics as the main integral subject and an MBA makes her inclination ideal for such a leadership role.
Professional successes as well as traditional values mingle with ease in her persona. A vegetarian, she has strong roots in Indian culture. An instinct for appreciating good music adds brilliance to her interactions with creativity. An interest in knowing the secrets of the world through travel fill her with enchanting metaphors and informed power.
