“Without a failure, life is like sitting in a car with a driver who hasn’t had an accident. Both situations are scary.”
INTERNSHIPS
I’ve taken up one unpaid internship for a few weeks at JM Morgan Stanley which has been my longest, and aside from that, a couple more working experiences: at a boutique investment bank and as an analyst in a stock trading company, all 3 in Mumbai. Worked on the analysis side. Working for myself always motivated me more and thus, I never stuck around for long.
SOCIAL MEDIA
I believe in making changes to status quo and in the power of collectivism. The world we lived in has been shaped by this genre of internet sites to a large extent. I am on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & Linkedin.
BOARD SEATS
I have been on the board of Asian Oilfield Services and Enso Secutrack among listed companies.
