About Malay Shah

Full-Time MBA candidate at UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School, with diversified experience and a successful track record in the spheres of real estate and equity research. I am a keen thinker who enjoys problem-solving with first principle thinking and have demonstrated the same while re-building the approach to equity research at one of India’s premier stockbroking organizations and while devising marketing and sales strategies for a real estate company based out of Mumbai. Passionate about creating a positive impact in society by helping organizations to drive change, I am keen to explore opportunities that help me serve my personal mission through organizations that are driving change across the world.

Experience

1. Chief Financial Officer

   Ilika

   Oct 2012 — Present · Mumbai, IN

   At 17, three friends came together with a simple belief: if opportunity had reached us, it was our duty to extend it to those it hadn’t.What began as a personal effort, pooling our own resources to support children without access to education, has grown into Ilika: an ecosystem where support is not charity, but justice.Today, Ilika stands beside young people from underserved communities, providing mentorship, tools, networks, and opportunities that help them pursue degrees, build careers, and transform their futures.Because when one child rises, the cycle of opportunity begins and generational poverty gets eradicated.
