Vice-Chairperson - CFA Society India
I started my journey as a volunteer in 2009 with Bangalore chapter. I still remember those days when we had very few volunteers and have made many lifetime friends. When I look back today, good memories flash back …
As a CFA Society India member, my 14 years volunteering journey has been one filled with growth, learning, and a strong commitment to delivering the best to our member community. Being a part of this esteemed organization has been a privilege, and I am proud of the positive impact we’ve made on the finance profession and our members’ lives.
From the moment I joined CFA Society India, I felt a sense of camaraderie with fellow members who share a passion for finance and a drive to excel in our careers. The society provided a platform for networking, knowledge-sharing, and professional development, fostering an environment where members can challenge themselves to reach new heights.
In my early days as a member, I actively participated in various events, seminars, and workshops organized by the society. These events not only enhanced my technical skills but also allowed me to interact with industry experts and gain insights into the latest trends and developments in the finance world. The knowledge and connections I acquired from these experiences have proven invaluable throughout my career.
As my involvement with the society deepened, I had the opportunity to contribute to various committees and initiatives. Serving on these committees not only allowed me to give back to the society but also empowered me to shape the direction and focus of the organization. It was a humbling experience to work alongside dedicated professionals who share a common goal of promoting ethical and professional standards in the finance industry.
One of the highlights of my journey as a CFA Society India member was the privilege of organizing and hosting events that catered to the diverse needs of our members. From career development workshops to conferences addressing critical industry challenges, I was always on the edge, striving to deliver the best content and experiences to our member community. Witnessing the positive impact of these events on our members’ careers and professional growth has been immensely rewarding.
Beyond events, I actively engaged with fellow members through online forums and networking sessions. The sense of community and mutual support within the society is unparalleled, making it a unique and nurturing space for personal and professional development.
Throughout my journey, I’ve seen the CFA Society India evolve and adapt to the changing dynamics of the finance industry. Embracing technology, fostering diversity and inclusion, and championing sustainability have become integral aspects of the society’s vision. As a member, I wholeheartedly embraced these changes, recognizing the importance of staying ahead in a rapidly evolving world.
