About

I have completed my Post Graduation Diploma in Management in Finance from S.P. Jain Institute of Management and Research, Mumbai. At SPJIMR, I got the opportunity to lead different teams and committees, working with multiple stakeholders which helped foster my personal and professional development. Previously, I worked as Manager, Growth & Strategy at NEWJ spearheading the Strategy and Business Development efforts along with leading the Data & Insights Team. I worked closely with the Finance teams to streamline the financial operations while also leading the development & implementation of mobile and web analytics, as a part of the core team working on the revamp of JioNews. Throughout my time at a NEWJ, I got the opportunity to collaborate with various departments, gaining extensive knowledge and experience about the media industry, digital content and product landscape. I am a graduate in Bachelor of Business Administration (Finance) from NMIMS' ASMSOC, Mumbai. I have also cleared the Level 1 of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Exam. I am known to tackle problems strategically, I perceive myself as a diligent, patient, and enthusiastic, eagerly anticipating challenging opportunities. When I'm not working, I can be found engrossed in solving jigsaw puzzles.
