From his earliest days, Nishant had a voracious appetite for books and knowledge. Often going through seven or eight novels a week, his parents used to confiscate his books for Âreading too muchÂ, a problem many parents today would love to have.

A quick wit and an extrovert, he won several awards based on his language, creativity and presentation skills in college.

Born in a family of businessmen and to a mother who was a teacher, Nishant studied to become a Chartered Accountant. Struggling against misfortune and set-backs in his childhood and young life, Nishant successfully got his degree and eventually even a Fellowship.

Intelligence, hard-work and a consistent work-ethic saw him progress through Citibank, Standard Chartered and JPMorgan, where he was a senior management member and the Head of Operating Risk (one of three portfolios he held).
