I hold a BBA in Finance from DY Patil University, Pune. I’ve spent the last two years working in real estate, primarily managing funds and liquidity. My interest in finance has been strong from the start, but working in the industry deepened that passion, especially in areas like finance and asset management. During my time in real estate, I realized that while theoretical knowledge provided a strong foundation, it was the practical, hands-on experience that truly made a difference. Whether it was managing cash flow or making investment decisions, the dynamic nature of the financial world requires more than just textbook learning. I wanted to further build on this practical experience and gain deeper insights into real-world financial markets, which is why I started looking for a professional course that could meet these needs. That’s when I chose to pursue a PGDM in Finance, as it offers a more practical and professional approach to the subject. After researching various institutions, I found Valia School of Management, which stood out to me for its exceptional internship program. The hands-on experience they offer aligns perfectly with my goals because I believe PGDM should be about practical market knowledge rather than just textbook learning. Valia’s focus on real-world applications convinced me that this was the right place to advance my career in finance, equipping me with the skills to thrive in an ever-evolving financial landscape.
