I then set up and headed India operations for a U S company in online transaction processing for 7 years. I then worked with a reputed Mumbai based brokerage, heading their wealth management and distribution functions. I have been a guest lecturer at BSE Training Institute (Bombay Stock Exchange), lecturing on topics related to the stock markets and financial management. I have trained staff at SVC Bank on financial products. I am currently a freelance trainer and have trained bank employees on finance topics, employees on mutual fund certification exams and other related topics. I have contributed to website text and written and edited material on diverse topics during my career. I try to update myself constantly on science , technology, business and social trends, as these help to make subjects more interesting. I believe in making topics interesting by giving real life examples, as it reinforces the learning.
