From an Engineer to a Finance Professional: Meet this IITian who started leading Finance in multiple startups
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter
  • Hi, I am Niranjan Chavan, an engineer from IIT Bombay, an MBA (Finance) from the University of Toronto, and a CFA charter holder.
  • While working at Schlumberger as an engineer, I realized the importance of Finance and wanted to learn more about it.
  • Hence, in 2008, I decided to take a Finance route and migrated to Canada to pursue my MBA in Finance.
  • I progressed in Finance and Strategy, eventually becoming the CFO of Toppr and now Head of Finance at BrowserStack – a leading Technology SaaS startup.
  • Here is my journey from an engineer to a Finance professional.

My life as an IITian and Engineering student

I was born and brought up in Mumbai, India.

Being a curious person, I enjoyed my academic life, and eventually, this motivated me to prepare for the very competitive engineering entrance exam of IIT.

I gave my best and was fortunate to get admission at IIT Bombay (an institution recognized worldwide as a leader in engineering education and research) to pursue Mechanical Engineering.
