Mahima Kaur Bajaj — Founder
I work at D.E. Shaw in Structured Credit (SRT) and Credit Research, where I support diligence, and analytical work across complex global transactions. My experience also spans consulting, policy, and development through internships at EY, Deloitte, the Punjab Government, and projects in India and Kenya. These roles strengthened my interest in how finance, policy, and social impact come together. I run Tarahi, a social enterprise focused on helping women artisans receive fair pricing and access to global value chain for their work while enabling young women to build confidence through mentorship. Expanding access and opportunity for girls remains one of my core motivations. Outside of work, I am a national-level sportsperson and an international relations enthusiast. I enjoy running, strength training, long-form documentaries—and testing coffees until I find the perfect one.
