I am a Bachelor’s in Computer Science (B.Sc.) graduate from South Gujarat University with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) specialized in marketing from North Gujarat University.

I had an experience of working with sectors like pharmaceuticals for a short span and majorly into non-banking finance companies like GE Money Financial Services Ltd., Cholamandalam DBS (Development Bank of Singapore) Finance Ltd and Max New York Life Insurance Co. Ltd in Surat.
I am a hard-core and energetic sales professional with a core expertise in setting up a business process, improving them to ensure highest productivity along with Channel development and management and understanding the money lending business.
I spent my major stint with HDFC Credila Financial Services Ltd. HDFC Credila happens to be India’s 1st dedicated education loan company. I joined this company in April 2010 as a Sales Manager and got elevated through multiple promotions and finally was heading the Ahmedabad Location as an Assistant Vice President - Sales. After a successful and fulfilling innings at HDFC Credila for 13 plus years., I decided to explore new opportunities for myself and embark on a new journey with a goal to set up something of my own and also to create opportunities for others.
