Mr.Bakshi enlightened the students about various careers in investment banking, Equity research and trading, which are the most sought after careers for any student of finance. He spoke about the traits one has to possess or equip oneself with for a successful career as an I-banker, as the high flying finatics are fondly known. He briefed the students about the opportunities in India and abroad and readily shared his wealth of experience in investment banking spanning almost a decade.
The first years were seen hanging on to his every word as he answered questions put forth by them with replies that spoke volumes about his expertise on the subject. Speaking like a true Investment banker, Mr.Bakshi was unequivocal when it came to airing his views on the difficulties involved in merging two companies and the human element which is a major factor. Talking about glass ceiling and its presence or absence thereof, Mr.Bakshi elucidated that there are industries in I-banking where the female footprint is minimal but cited examples of women holding top positions there too. In his view, at the end of the day it’s one’s own choices that pave the way forward.
The session ended with a vote of thanks to the eminent guest and the students looking forward to more of such enlivening sessions ahead.
