Hi, would like a review on my goals essay. Would appreciate inputs on this:
The evolution of technology and currency has been a long, important process. FinTech has gone
from being a mere buzzword to completely transforming the global finance industry over the past
few years creating an industry that is worth $4.5 Trillion in assets. My prior experience with EY has
given me the perspective of combining businesses, accounting techniques and business laws and
create innovative solutions to tackle the same. I have gained deep experience in implementation of
the Goods and Services Tax and have assisted clients with their deals with the Department of
Industries.
I have also founded an accounting firm where we provide assurance and consulting services to
small and medium-sized businesses and this has helped me further my personal understanding in
this field in a more dynamic role.
I would like to give this unstructured understanding of product ideation to revisit the market with a
structured learning horizon and enable myself to be a successful subject-matter expert. This is
exactly why NYU Stern’s curricular offering with a specialization in FinTech serves as the perfect
extension of my goals. Post a Stern MBA, I intend to pursue a career as a FinTech Executive in a
major Finance-oriented corporation such as Goldman Sachs or even in Product Manager roles in
organizations such as Amazon, Google, and Facebook. Specifically, in this role, I would design,
architect and spearhead a solution that gives a strong control of data, along with easy integration,
while maximizing the financial utility. In the long run, I wish to scale into decision-making roles
such as a CFO or Director of Product where I would lead key strategies for the product with an army
of seasoned professionals and aim for a larger impact. To Stern’s 2022 batch, I will bring my canvas
of experiences.
Stern being the only B-school recognizing and offering a FinTech-based specialization, I’m looking
forward to be a part of its research divisions, vast alumni network and strategic location that will
not only place me perfectly in its campus dynamics but will also unearth a sea of professional
opportunities post my degree. Even the focused research division for FinTech, combined with a
large number of FinTech community events, would help me gain more insights and create a larger
impact. Also, given the focus that Stern has for IQ+EQ would enable me to develop my interpersonal
skills to a larger extent which would be pivotal in implementing ideas and motivating fellow
colleagues to create a greater impact. The TechMBA-focussed approach will help me develop a
portfolio of skill-sets that will prepare me for multiple specializations. through curricular
offerings such as Strategy, Operations Management and Foundations of Finance. I am
confident of finding the right endings and newer beginnings at your institution. Outside of the
classroom, activities such as the Monday Block Launches, the LAUNCH program, and the MBA
Challenge would give me the opportunity to apply classroom learnings in real-time situations.
I am confident of reinventing myself as a Stern alumnus.
