About Anoushka Mirchandani

From Wall Street to Founder, with a mission to fix how we learn moneyThe way we teach personal finance isn’t working — and the data shows it. Most young adults feel anxious about money, confused by tools, and behind before they even start.I’m Anoushka — startup founder and former Global Head of Market Structure at Morgan Stanley. Over 15+ years at Morgan Stanley and BlackRock, I managed front-office investment teams and led major platform integrations. My focus was always the same: simplify complexity, streamline workflows, and make financial systems more intuitive for the people using them. But even at the top, I saw how disconnected most tools were from real life.That’s why I started SIMMER.SIMMER is an interactive personal finance app that teaches real-world money skills — and gives users the ability to apply them directly. No more spreadsheets, passive learning, or confusing advice. SIMMER is an end-to-end solution: users learn through short, interactive lessons, then take action using built-in tools — all within a single platform.We’re not here to lecture. We’re here to guide — with clarity, empathy, and structure. For every concept we teach, I’ve lived some version of it: from credit card debt to career pivots, saving missteps to investing late. SIMMER is rooted in personal experience — not theory — and built to make money feel manageable, not intimidating. Practical, not preachy. Supportive, not overwhelming.Our mission is to turn financial stress into financial fluency — one clear, jargon-free, actionable step at a time.If you’re interested in learning more, partnering, or just want to say hi — feel free to reach out!
