With over eight years of experience in the Product Control and Risk functions at global financial institutions such as Bank of America, Société Générale, and Barclays, I have led projects, managed teams, and implemented automation initiatives that delivered significant time and cost efficiencies. I currently serve as a Senior Manager at Bank of America.


Academically, I am a Chartered Accountant and have completed the CFA and FRM certifications. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce through distance education, completed alongside my demanding CA training and internship. My GPA was low due to very tough evaluation criteria of Chartered accountancy program.

In the short term, I aim to move into a strategy or operations leadership role at a global firms. My long-term goal is to launch a tech-driven startup.

I’m targeting roles in the UK, Europe, or North America.

Sorry to hear about the rejection from HEC and INSEAD, @Ambitious93. It's a difficult moment. We've put together an article on the "Major reasons why your MBA Application got dinged". It provides some understanding of mistakes you might have made. Take a moment to review it, reflect on what you can adjust, and get ready to put your best foot forward next time. You’ve got this!

We’d be happy to discuss your previous applications, evaluate your profile, and help refine your strategy. If you'd like, feel free to book a profile evaluation session.

We are hosting a Coffee Session: “GMAT Strategy & B-School Application Tips from Experts” on 25th July, 2025 | ​9.00 PM IST | 11.00 AM ET. Click here to know more details.

Cheers!

If you wish, I am happy to do a ding analysis; no costs involved. My worry is that if you repeat what you did in your dinged applications, you'll get the same results in future applications. Let me know if you wish to take this offer.
