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!

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."
