I’m a Chartered Accountant and Finance professional who took a rather non-linear route to get here. I initially chose science, realised it wasn’t for me, moved to commerce, and eventually pursued CA. My CA journey came with setbacks, multiple attempts, and years of uncertainty before I could finally start my career. Since then, I’ve built my career across finance and startups, grown significantly in my career, and now work as a Finance Director. I know what it feels like to question your career, compare yourself with others, feel behind, and wonder whether your setbacks will limit your future. Today, I share my experiences on Instagram to help CA students and young professionals navigate failures, career decisions, growth, and the journey towards bigger goals. Through my 1:1 consultations, I bring a practical perspective to career decisions — based not just on theory, but on having experienced the ups and downs myself.
