Building beyond PwC: A journey of growth and impact.
PwC was a great place to work because it offered a culture of continuous learning and access to leaders who genuinely invested in my growth.
What fills you with pride when you think about your time at the firm?
I had a very good experience at PwC. Though it was the first time I joined a Big Four, I got excellent exposure to grow as well as received recognition from time to time. This helped in charting my future success.
I am especially grateful to my mentors Nagnath Pai, Ali Akbar, and Jeetendra Mirchandani. From my early days, they consistently supported and guided which greatly shaped my growth.
Even after Nagnath Pai retired, support from Jeetendra Mirchandani and Ali Akbar made me feel truly valued. I am grateful to have worked under leaders who believed in me.
What made PwC a great place to work for you?
PwC offered a culture of continuous learning and access to leaders who genuinely invested in my future. The culture of ownership and accountability shaped my work ethic. It continues to influence how I approach challenges today.
Tell us about what you’re doing right now?
I work as a finance senior manager in the industry handling audit, taxation and legal compliances.
How would you describe your leadership style?
My leadership style is collaborative and people centric. I believe in empowering teams and creating an environment where ideas can thrive. AI driven solutions are transforming the industry, enabling smarter decisionmaking and more personalised experiences.
An invaluable lesson that changed your life...
One lesson I’ll never forget is that consistency beats intensity. Small, steady efforts compound into big results.
How important is networking and building relationships in one's career?
Networking is essential. Strong relationships open doors, offer perspectives, and create opportunities you may never find on your own. Based on this thought process, I take the time to lend my expertise and extend my networks by helping other to get into the industry or regulated firms. A piece of advice I would give anyone starting their career is to take risks early, stay curious, and don’t wait for perfect conditions. Growth often happens outside your comfort zone.
