About

Vision: An innovative global organization that uses trust to create positive impact for all its stakeholders. Empowering the aspirations of India's youth with accessible financial solutions. mPokket is not just a fintech company, it's a catalyst for ambition, enabling millions - college students, salaried individuals, gig workers, and the self-employed to pursue their dreams with instant credit access. Join our team as we scale this impact. We are hiring across Tech, Product, Data, Marketing, and beyond. My journey from the established financial sector to building a fintech revolution in India has been driven by a belief in the transformative power of accessible finance. From analyzing complex company, industry and macro-economic dynamics at Fidelity and shaping corporate strategies at Bain, to leading investments at Avant Garde, I have always sought to create tangible value. An MBA from Columbia Business School equipped me with the tools, but the real education comes from seeing mPokket's impact on lives every day. Specialties: Fintech, Lending, Payments, Value Investing; Telecom, Utilities, Industrials, Pharmaceuticals, Healthcare, Chemicals and Aviation sectors.
