Immediately after completing his MBA in Finance from SIBM Pune, Sarthak came back to Mumbai and joined SEBI, a true blue government financial institution.

From SPJMIR Student To VP of Investment And Asset Management At Pandim Consultancy | Journey Of Prerna Lotlikar, CFA Certified and SPJIMR Finance Alumni

However, when I actually landed up interning in an investment banking job, I got to know the finer nuances and realised that this is not the kind of job that I really enjoyed and that's not something I would like to make a career in”, says Prerna Lotlikar, VP of Investments at Pandim Consultancy, CFA and SPJIMR Finance Alumni.
