How To Build A Career In Fintech, BFSI, And More Ft. GIM

One of the most preferred careers for students post MBA happens to be working in the finance domain. Whether it be banking, insurance, asset management, trading or more, a large chunk of MBA graduates find themselves at home in the world of finance.
