The concept of TEDx transcended into my life in the context of Technology, Entertainment & Design. With 19 years in banking , technology acted as an enabler for me to have digital transformation push in the areas of policy, portfolio analysis and risk mitigation, simultaneously allowing collaboration with fin-techs and product designers. Learning is for life and for the very same reason I am pursuing MSc. in Managing Innovation from Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh Business School. On the entertainment front, I have passion for photography and got my work published as well. On the social and domestic awareness issue acted in a short film titled ' a little time'. Flair for sports including squash, cricket and basketball. The design perspective is embedded in my life philosophy of putting yourself in other's shoes, this has reflected through an empathetic approach towards family, friends and customers.
