Banker turned entrepreneur

I consider myself a diehard banker. I have been in the Indian Banking Industry for more than 17 years.

Over those years I have worked across Corporate Lending, SME Lending, and Commercial Banking.

While I was working at Standard Chartered, my colleague Shivam Sinha brought up a very important point; “The banking industry has grown so much in India, but when it comes to real estate, we are far behind.”
