About Darsh Bhadja

My journey into the business world began unexpectedly during the global pandemic. What started as a family-directed internship at my uncle\'s bearing factory quickly evolved into a transformative experience. As an assistant general manager, I was immersed in diverse aspects of business operations - from financial management to production logistics. This hands-on exposure ignited my passion for business and finance, shaping my career trajectory. It was here that I developed crucial skills in stakeholder communication, financial stability maintenance, and operational management, laying a solid foundation for my future endeavors. Fast forward to today, and I\'m proud to be an MBA candidate at IMI New Delhi, with a specialization in finance. My journey has been marked by milestones - from being a BBA Finance graduate to working as an Equity Advisor at Angelone, where I managed 143 clients and achieved an impressive 18% average return. I\'m a SEBI registered advisor, having cleared the NISM series 8 and SEBI investor certificate examinations. At IMI, I\'m expanding my business acumen across industries, mastering tools like Python, Power BI, and Bloomberg, and thriving on challenges. My story is one of passion, perseverance, and a relentless pursuit of knowledge. I\'m excited to leverage my finance expertise and evolving business acumen to drive value and achieve new heights in my professional journey.
