Strategy & Innovation role at Celo
About
I was born in India, raised in Dubai, and have studied in the UK and Spain.
I am currently working in Strategy & Innovation role at Celo - a Layer 1 Blockchain with a mission to bring financial prosperity to everyone.
I have completed my MBA at IESE Business School in Barcelona, Spain.
Previously, I was a Management Consultant at the Middle East offices of Bain & Company. I have a total of ~10 years of experience spanning the Management Consulting, Digital & Retail domains with significant P&L Responsibility.
Past I worked in Digital Marketing for ~4 years and my family's retail business for another 3. I also have a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and a Master’s in International Business, both from the University of Birmingham, UK.

I've grown up Bollywood. I prefer dinner, conversations, and concerts over clubs. I like reading, mostly the non-fiction variety. I enjoy travel, of which a big part is scouting the best places to get cheesecake! I'm incredibly passionate about my work, I’m always learning something new and finding ways to grow and I'm looking for a partner who would have a similar mindset. Other than that, I'd appreciate someone who appreciates the simpler things in life including but not limited to a good book, a nice view, and a hot cup of masala chai.
In terms of personality - I’d say I fall on the side of rational/practical, I’m pretty nerdy, and extremely professionally driven. I do have a creative side as well and have dabbled in photography and videography.

What I am looking for
I’m looking for someone who is extremely professionally driven as this who I am and is likely to set our lifestyle. So ideally it would be someone well educated and working in the Consulting, Investment Banking, Law, or any other intensive industry so our
professional expectations align. As I’ve lived and worked outside of India / Dubai and
grown a lot as a person, I’d prefer someone who has spent some time outside their
home country as well since I think our wavelengths are likely to match better. (both of
these aren’t mandatory, but rather preferences).
Finally, I would prefer someone who is easy-going, curious/passionate, and
appreciative of substance rather than surface. I realize these things are hard to define
clearly but you know if you’re any/all of these.
