Why did you decide to do an MBA?
My life’s mission is to use technology to uplift underserved communities. From building products from scratch to scaling impact across South Asia and MEA, I’ve seen what’s possible when innovation meets purpose. I’ve lived the journey from 0 to 1.
Now, through Ivey’s world-class curriculum, its global alumni network, and a community that values courage, inclusivity, and impact, I’m ready to take that journey from 1 to 100. This MBA isn’t just a career move—it’s fuel for a deeper mission: to build at scale, lead with empathy, and create systems that unlock opportunity for everyone.
What is the most significant thing you've learned at Ivey?
Honestly, it’s grit. Ivey doesn’t hand you answers—you’re expected to figure things out, ask better questions, and lean into the discomfort. At first, it’s tough. But somewhere along the way, you realize you’re building this quiet confidence that no matter how unfamiliar something is, you’ll find a way through it.
If there’s one thing I’ve taken from this experience, it’s this: after the Ivey MBA, you truly believe you can learn anything. And that changes how you show up—for work, for people, for yourself.
What's been the most surprising aspect of the Ivey MBA journey to date?
The diversity of the cohort, not just in terms of where people come from, but what they do. I’ve learned about job roles, industries, and specializations I didn’t even know existed. People here are passionately building careers in spaces you may have never imagined, and yet they’re creating real impact.
Ivey truly expands your perspective. You don’t just get a global education—you start to see the world through a much wider lens. It’s eye-opening, inspiring, and humbling all at once.
Ivey in a few words: Please share what your Ivey experience is to you!
To me, Ivey is a launchpad—not just for careers, but for courage. It’s where I learned to bet on myself, step into the unknown, and trust that I could figure things out along the way.
It’s not always easy. You’re pushed, challenged, and constantly outside your comfort zone. But you’re also surrounded by a community that believes in you and lifts you up. From case discussions to late-night group work, every moment is a lesson in grit, empathy, and leadership.
I came in with a mission to use tech for good, and Ivey has helped me dream even bigger. It’s more than a school; it’s a place that helps you see who you can become.
