Associate Consultant, Mumbai

Why Consulting?

Consulting provided me the best opportunities while starting my career to explore working with different companies in different industries to understand the nuances of running a business before settling into any specialization.

Why Bain?

I chose Bain because I was and that it was the best among top consulting firms when it comes to valuing its employees. Further, I chose the Mumbai office because it is a smaller office, and allows for greater interactio among all colleagues.

A memorable experience at Bain

My first Bain sponsored trip to the USA for two weeks of Associate Consultant Training (ACT) and the moment when Bain India office employees sung 'Vande Mataram' during a karaoke session in front of representatives from all of Bain's global offices.

How is Bain India office unique?

Bain India is unique because of its lower strength compared to other Bain offices. This has enabled people to know each other professionally, as well as personally. I really like the fact that conscious efforts are made every year to ensure that this spirit of bonding remains even though we are growing so fast.

Interests outside work

Music, Photography, Blogging, Anime, Networking etc.
