I was born in a small town called Bhongir, in south India. I have grown up in a business environment, where my mother established a small convenient store with just 200 bucks which she had expanded and has branches for it. She is my inspiration for my life, how one can achieve their goals after following their passion with consistent hard work. I went to college and have a Bachelor in Commerce, where I have been attracted to finance and enrolled for my post-graduation and completed it with flying colors. Parallelly, I have also completed my certified financial planner (CFP CM), India course through which I have joined my first job as an Investment advisor, and in just six months I have been promoted to a manager. Then in order to boost my career I thought to do my MBA in Canada and start the second innings of my career, here I am now.
