Hi, I'm Anant. 
Through my career pursuits, I am driven to develop FinTech products that make financial and non- financial transactions simpler for the masses.

To change the ecosystem of how financial transactions are carried out for individuals and companies, there is a tremendous need for technology to support our financial institutions in driving this change. Using my learnings from my education in FinTech and my experience of developing digital onboarding infrastructures for international banking clients, I am certain to be of value in development of more such products and management of an amicable environment for the team as well as customers/partners.

Additionally, as part of my coursework during my masters, I did a project on understanding the effect of cryptocurrencies on traditional portfolios and an exploratory analysis on cryptocurrencies. This really gave me a lot of deep understanding on the potential of blockchain technology. Even though the world is not fully ready for this, I am constantly educating myself on the current trends and development on this front, hoping it'll all kick in soon enough.
