Delhi, India
I’m an investment banker working on some of the largest IPO, M&A, & Private fundraise deals at one of India’s top-tier front-end IB firms. But that’s not why most people find me. People started reaching out to me on LinkedIn - asking how to break into high finance. And what I found was alarming. Most didn’t even know how to send a cold email correctly, forget about building a CV that survives the first filter. There’s a massive gap between what colleges teach and what actually gets you hired. Nobody was bridging it honestly. Worse - I started noticing finance influencers filling that gap with fake credentials. Fabricated work experience. Zero front-end deal experience. Selling courses to students who had no way to verify what was real. That bothered me. Because I’ve actually lived this. I know what recruiters at top investment banks look for because I’ve lived that journey myself & have been on both sides of the table. I know what gets a CV shortlisted and what gets it ignored in 6 seconds. I know what interviewers are really thinking beneath every question they ask. So I started sharing it. Honestly. Without filters. 50,000+ followers in under 3 months. Not because I’m a great content creator. Because people were starving for someone authentic.
