1. How did you begin your journey in the capital market?
My professional journey began with HDFC Ltd way back in 1988.This was an era of pre-liberalisation and one can understand the challenges and intricacies attached with venturing into financial sector which was still far from coming of its age. However, aspiration backed with strong passion helped me in sailing through the first milepost. Sales growth was another area of accomplishment in the subsequent two years and that gave a strong platform to understand the retail business and retail investors closely for future capitalization. The keenness to learn and employing abilities helped in moving-up the ladder in following years of my professional career. Overall, the under evolved stage of markets in those days, which was the early phase of LPG (Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization) unfolded a lot of learning and insights for me which I cherish and put in use even today in my current role .
