More about Priyanka Acharya
Having a childhood enthusiasm of becoming a Psychologist + an academic and work experience of a Finance Professional, I finally decided to combine both together! That's how I became a Financial Educator and now, an Author & a Podcaster!
After completing my MBA in Finance 14 years back, I knew I had a passion for the education & training industry. To ensure I am equipped with the right mindset, skillset & toolset before entering this 'wisdom-driven' domain, I gathered work experience with companies like Financial Technologies India Ltd (now, 63moons Technologies India Ltd), Bombay Stock Exchange Institute, University of Mumbai. I started as a freelancer in 2015 with diverse experiments of consulting assignments with startups, training, management teaching and few other strategic partnerships. Meanwhile, I wrote 17 management research papers, conducted 400+ investor awareness workshops and mentored CxOs & department heads on aligning business strategy to Finance. Finally, there was a eureka moment and I knew where I wanted to build my future! I am presently working on 2 core purposes: one, to make women & families 'Financially SAVVY' and two, to enable Health Insurance 'AGENTS' to become Professionals, with Formal Education for them!
As a Founder Director of Learning Lifeline, I provide financial streamlining focused consulting services to women & families and help health insurance agents pursue MBA - Mediclaim Business Administration! The learning is in offline, online and 'Learning Lifeline' Playstore app based flexi learning modes. I have co-produced India's first podcast released in 8 languages - Ek Chuski Finance / A Sip of Finance. I have recently authored a Hindi book - Laxmi Gyaan se Laxmi Maan.
There's a lot more and I aspire to build a unique & impactful financial education ecosystem! Because 'Earning grows only with L-Earning'! My name is Priyanka and hence, I want to be the Favorite (Priy) - Episode (Anka) in every financial story!

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
“eChai has been that turning point in my journey. It gave me a platform when I wasn’t looking for visibility but needed direction. Over the years, it became more than just a network. It became my tribe; a place where conversations sparked collaborations, and strangers became trusted sounding boards. What I value most is how effortlessly eChai brings people together - no airs, no filters, just genuine people with shared dreams. I owe a lot to this community and to Jatin, whose consistency and belief in people have shaped journeys like mine. Forever grateful to be part of something so real.”
