I am a pharmacist with a B.Sc. Tech. in Pharmaceuticals and Fine Chemicals from UDCT Mumbai, and I have an extensive background in Formulations R&D within the pharmaceutical sector. With years of firsthand experience as an investor in the secondary market, I became convinced that equity is a preferred long-term investment due to its tax efficiency and ability to outpace inflation. However, I noticed that many people were overlooking this opportunity, often due to misconceptions and the mis-selling of products that didn’t align with their needs. This led me to embark on my second professional journey as a Mutual Fund Distributor (MFD) in October 2006. I also earned the NISM CPFA qualification and have since focused on serving retail investors.
