About

Hello, I'm Mehul Soni, a finance professional whose roots lie in the vibrant streets of Mumbai. Currently, I'm immersed in the world of academia, pursuing an MBA in Technology and Business Management at Masters Union School of Business. This journey is more than just education; it's about bridging my extensive financial expertise with a broader business outlook. My professional path has been diverse and rewarding. I began as a Chartered Accountant and Company Secretary, which laid a robust foundation for my career in finance. At Quant Mutual Fund, I quickly rose through the ranks to become one of the youngest Fund Managers in India, significantly growing the AUM and shaping innovative investment strategies. Following this, at Edelweiss Tokio Life Insurance, I served as a senior quantitative analyst, where I developed over seven quantitative investment strategies, achieving a remarkable >20% CAGR. As I navigate through my MBA, leading the Masters Union Investment Fund, I'm not just managing funds but also crafting a new narrative in investment. My next goal? To step into the dynamic world of private equity and venture capital. I'm driven to apply my accumulated knowledge in finance and business to make a meaningful impact in the private markets sector. Balancing professional pursuits with personal passions like travel and motorcycling, I'm on a quest to combine financial acumen with real-world experiences, aiming to contribute significantly to the finance industry.
