Rethinking career choices paid off: How this CA co-founded a gold loan fintech backed by The Manipal Group

• Hi, I am Anuj Arora, a Chartered Accountant turned co-founder of SahiBandhu – on its way to becoming India’s largest Gold Loan aggregator Platform.
• For the first 6 years of my career, I dabbled in various roles and industries…only to realize that business management interests me.
• Post my MBA I joined the corporate strategy team of The Manipal Group.
• It was here that along with my co-workers (now co-founders) we came up with Sahibandhu.

Back story: Discovering my career path  

I qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2011 but frankly, I didn’t have much clarity regarding what I should do next.

I kept asking myself, “Should I build my own business, (I wish I had at that time), or should I just do a 9-5 job?”
