As an IOC-certified professional, I have acquired a solid foundation in investment operations, risk management, hedge funds, bonds, derivatives, and collective investments. My journey began with a B.Com degree and a passion for finance, and it led me through roles in HR within the BFSI sector, where I gained a deep understanding of financial services and talent management. I have also honed my problem-solving and customer service skills in technical support and HR recruitment, all of which have contributed to my transition into the finance domain. Currently working as a Para Planner, I am using my IOC certification to assist with financial planning and strategy. Now, as I pursue an MBA to further enhance my knowledge, I’m excited to mentor aspiring finance students—particularly those making a career transition from other domains into finance. I’m passionate about sharing how the IOC certification has played a pivotal role in shaping my career and how it can open doors for others in this dynamic field.
